Blue eyes blazing With love With youth And, unfortunately Self-importance Brown skin Warm to the touch Like you just stepped out of an oven With hip bones jutting forward And ribs poking out Skinnier than I like you You dance over to me Wearing only filthy work jeans And a leather hat It's rich color faded by the sun You smell of your work Cow shit And a thirteen-hour day's worth of sweat My favorite cologne, cheira de roca I'm the only girl I know Who would embrace that Much less find sensuality in it And all of this, all of you Is teaching me a lesson That love is found in the most obscure of places And that it isn't perfect because people aren't perfect But if it's true, it should never be a compromise Only a project And as your arms encircle my waist And our lips meet I think that our love is a project That I want to spend the rest of my life working on |
