In the Amazon
Felt you in the Amazon
in the air, everywhere
dripping from the leaves
pouring from the frogs in croaks
Even the poisons
whispered your name
You’re miles away
but you’re right here
in this longing
in this lust of rage
in this pen
I drink you and dream you
I imagine your skin
that knows my touch so well
Felt you in the Amazon
You were so there
not hearts pulling
from across the great divide
Your hand was in mine
and I would cut off my arm
to hold your hand now
I felt you in the Amazon
warm, like forever
soft against my fear
imploring me, begging me
to see the real you
I see you
I see you, sweetheart
in the Amazon
