Mexico City, I love you
La Ciudad de México
Te amo
But I know you only want to be friends
That is fine with me
At least for now
You cannot be captured
Not then
Not now
I tried
Gazing at the canopy
Pregnant clouds
Tlaloc
Clockwork
Downpour @ 1700h
Later, an indigo pall
La tilma de la morenita
Virgencita
Without constellations
No, you cannot be captured
Not then
Not now
But you have captured me
And there I still walk
In circles
For hours
My time
Surrendered to you
With ease
Swallowed up with the millions of
Dreams
On which you subsist
Savor one by one
Pan atras pan
Fattening me with hope
Desire
That one day
One night
We might
Unite
Forever
Yet
That will take a
Lifetime
One, I am willing to give
