In Raincoats
in Tortuguero
for Ileana & Rafael
her husband,
with what attentive eyes,
is able to observe
what stretches of silence
while his wife, vivacious,
talks, thoughts
flashing swiftly,
puts into words
adds to what's in this world
what I found to own
to want to make my own
shade of her skin
brown, baked in what oven
she said she swims
almost everyday
but only heaven
can explain her color
it is not just in response
to the sun in the sky
