I put flowers on his head and danced with him.
I put wreaths upon our heads and swang around and around with him.
I favored him and we turned into kids playing.
I saw myself as a flower girl in a yellow and white gimp dress
as I gave him flowers in a basket as he layed down on the ground.
Kinds in love – yet adults too.
I saw ourselves as adults
doing the same thing.
I pictured when we first met
saying hi to him and him to me.

Dedicated to Robert Ortiz.
