Act

I’m going to say what love signifies

My grandfather said it was the desire of  the I for another I

And since then I began to search for you

My father said the number of  love was seven

Because creation lasted seven days

Seven days making love to its seven nights

I looked for you in each seven that ciphered my life

And I found you slipping away to other numbers

One confuses oneself with one’s other self

When two bodies intertwine in bed, three loves

have been in my life, four it will be when you have left

five days that I cannot stand you, six kisses in La Paz Centro

seven years of not finding you, love, show me

from one to a thousand your nights

What is your philosophy of love

you ask me in bed: and I respond

It’s not a flower but maybe it is a number. Here, I gift it to you

Hide it between your legs. At the count of two

Make sure that it does not fall: One

Open Sesame. Two

Loves have stepped into your kingdom.
