My Passionate Monkey Lady

Matthew Guzman

You come home covered
in bruises, I call them your
“leopard spots.”
You love me like an animal,
you feel “it,” the beauty of
a crawling vine, or a broken
and discarded mirror. You
help me to see what you see.

My passionate woman, who
picks the nose of a sick bird,
a bird whose lover has left him.
You flutter naked with your hummingbird
wings around our apartment –
whispering the McCaw lover’s call,
the deep guttural breathing
of various primates.
Your smile crosses
that which separates species,
with feathers in your hair,
speaking in a language
all your own.
