A Poem To The Man I Love
The man I love has blue purple mountains behind him
The man I love has blue purple mountains behind him
Blue green chartreuse rolling sea of Cortés at his front
His casa on the sand is a battered old airstream of tin
Mexicans think el extraño and gringos find him blunt
He fled the freezy north joined hot Bajacalifornian band
Ran away with a beat-up '86 Chevy and no real money
Surrounded by coco palms limes oranges and hot sand
Takes people and fish as he finds them thinks life funny
Walks white sandy beaches, swims snorkels twice a day
Man I love lives in Paradise under sun and miraculous air
The village Los Barriles Mexico lives he by Palmas Bay
Surviving hurricanes chubascos tormentas is his dare
No beauty, he is old wrinkled and too fat, but hey diddle de
You see the man I love loves me because you see he's me
Brooke - towed my 'Tin Tent" with to Baja Mexico behind my 1986 Chevy Caprice Classic a couple of weeks after Hurricane Julliete. It was a long haul from Toronto Canada to Paradise. Have never been back and am still exploring this 'last frontier.'
Haste luego amigos/amigas
