“Quiero hacer contigo lo que la primavera hace con los cerezos”
(I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.)
Pablo Neruda – Love Poem XIV
I want to do with you
What the moon does to the ripples on the lakes
I want to do with you
What dreams can do to those that wake up screaming and
Those that wake up glistening
I want to do with you
What airports can do to those departing and those arriving
I want to do with you
What the wind does to the desert sands
What the Sidewinder does to the dunes
I want to do with you
What the orbit does with the moon
I want to do with you
As the running of the last one hundred yards
Of a marathon
I want to do with you
As the first taste of cinnamon
I want to do with you
What Dudek did in Instanbul, 2005
What Gerrard did against West Ham, Milan, Olympiakos
I want to do with you
What the bee does with the Sunflowers and the Dahlias
I want to do with you
What the oil does with the water
What the butter does to the popcorn kernel
I want to do with you
What the light bulb does to the moth
I want to do with you
What Tom Waits singing Ruby’s Arms does to my heart
What James Brown does to my feet
I want to do with your clothes
What the autumn does to the leaves on the trees
I want to do to you
The same thing that you do to me
I love this. There is a wit and charm to it which has made me smile.
