jaime

by luis giraldo - Capricorn

i wandered 
in 
one day	all trimmed	all shaved,
to an unmistakable look you had:
on your face:
eyes wide baby blue
smiling now, curved, this freckled beauty 
like no one else,
i know.

never seen you,
yet you jump these eyes 
air-bound and locked away where 
				unconscious lives.	start packing	now

leap again
in my brain[bound&gagged]twist my cold soul 
				alive. jive it straight. again jumpstart again now,

listen to my heart’s red blood beat
astray--shaken not stirred awake,
				wait
				let me breathe,
					the kiss you wish to leave.
	

								again.

Reason for writing:

    a brief meeting with a girl named jaime
