Chilled by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Chilled


Seeds fall off the branches
And hunches within
I win when I sit here
A part of your sin

The crisp of the chill
The Spring finalizing
Perfection of will
And I'm fantasizing

Of birds and of bees
And flowers and trees
The tender your lips
The weaker my knees

I'll stretch for low fruit
The sweeter the better
You left me a mute
And took every letter

But here I'm still chill
Floating off the floor
My heart is your door
Now, future, before

I come to take witness
Of all that is you
The previous and precious
In darkness, the view

I'll take all your kisses
And sugar and honey
Your tender reminder
That wealth is not money

The richness in lips
Belonging to you
Impossibly true
Improbably few

Make one from us two
And rain even wetter
Sunshine from a shade
And glow from some glitter

Make me what I'll be
If I'll be fulfilled
Blind for you to see
And perfectly chilled
