La Paz






Like the viagara sold at the local farmacia
you promise to arouse and gratify.

La Paz, ciudad de mucho caliente
You stir my internal senses with 
passionate purples
magical magentas

I recline in your soft salty breeze
drinking in the peace and abundance 
foreshadowed en su nombre

your tumble-down buildings
hold me in bygone times

massaging me with
 unkempt fingers
seducing me
persuading 
me to 
question
                                                                          Where? 
When?

  1. I really love the nuances that Spanish adds to your poem, let alone that amazing photo! How seductive La Paz becomes by the end of the poem! Very nice!
