Puebla Pathos 

(her/she/they)

critics would say that

I just picked her up, 

honestly, I still wonder

myself why I did, it’s 

a fractious relationship 

flowing mostly one way,

I give her the benefit of 

my ever curious doubt, 

due to her sculptured

body and deep brown 

bronzed and shiny skin,

mostly it’s confessional

I can tell her anything 

were she a nun, she

surely be a silent order,

I’m not a religious man

but belief is good,

isn’t it?
