Tu Me Manques’

A poem*

Or
I miss you
In the worst
Way

Like the sea misses its shore
or the flower misses its
petals

Like the ground misses its
dirt
or the wound misses its hurt

I miss you
in the worst
Way

Like Saturn misses its
rings
Or the rain misses
Its wet

Missing you reshaped
my heart
An origami in your palm.
