Besos


Me rodean los besos de mi marido. Están allí cuando me despierto, llego del trabajo, cuando nos reuinimos durante el almuerzo, durante la cena, en la piscina y al acostarnos. No sé cómo viviría sin ellos. Me llenan el corazón y me derriten cada vez más. ¿Cómo es possible poder seguir así?

Ode to my Ghetto Peach

Oh how round you are

Protruding at great lengths behind me

Jeans slide with ease up to the ledge

Unable to move past it without a struggle

You do not belong to a white girl

Oh how I love and hate you at the same time

You’ve been with me since I was young

On tippy toes peering out the window

Too rotund to fit into my dance costumes

Next to waif-thin ballerinas

My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump

My lovely lady lump

My Ghetto Peach

How could I get along without you?
