Description i would not want your teeth whiter.
what would remind me of that
bitter and black coffee you drink?

i would not want your waist thinner.
how would i remember the thick,
melting ice cream we've shared?

i would not want your hair dyed.
what elegant gray would show them
what we've been through together?


no, i would not want a face unmarked by lines.
those are the map of the years-
years you gave to me, willingly, without regret.
those are the map to my memories. my heart.

If I was not already amazed by your work, this would have set me ablaze.
