Musk


by Dulce Maria Menendez


The moment you realize 
love is never finding you 
everything evaporates
droplets of dew 
are everywhere
the sun doesn't 
have to penetrate a cloud
for you to feel the sunshine 
pulling weeds is like 
drinking a glass of water 
sweat falls down across 
your breasts
you walk a little faster 
you hope it rains 
the smell of musk 
lingers in the air
and you take it in 
swallow it, inhale it
and will always
know what 
it felt like.
