Gather Me Again Poem by Rosalinda Flores Martinez

Gather Me Again



The past, my own anguish
like tequila,
him in my throat

Once you came -
all things bright and beautiful

Passion stops, too
Old rituals and manly grace wane

'Love thyself, love thy neighbors, '
that is what matters now.

I ask for the rain
I am asking God for the rain
the soft drop of it on my spine
and you, a touch of your hands
to gather me.
