Love You-In-Haiku
By Christina Rodriguez



I.

Stories of a heart

in love, unrehearsed but ble-

mished by stars, his eyes.


II.

My heart wishes you.

You in arms. You in kiss. You

in love. You in me.


III.

I miss those nights when

you pretended to not know that

my heart was flirting


IV.

With danger, a fool in a backless gown that waits for you to

slip it off.
