"Mes de los Muertos"

When I Grew Up

By Lydia Manx

When I grew up
I knew my lover's hand
Every crease and rut

When I grew up
I knew my lover's touch
Tingles down my spine

When I grew up
I knew my lover's caress
Hard yet soft

When I grew up
I knew my lover's lips
Gentle across my body

When I grew up
I knew my lover's voice
Whispering in my soul

When I grew up
I knew my lover.
