What were you thinking
when you took the gun,
you kissed me with your eyes
and your finger made love to the trigger?
I was thinking of Bridgette Bardot naked.
and in the noise your feet make
when you walk and you are happy.
We hit each other in the mother
and we still love each other.
We want to kill each other,
we want to disintegrate
and we want to be reborn
being a retrofuturistic plant
that will look great in the living room of your bedroom.
where you read your favorite books
and you think of all the chaos you haven't caused yet.
You are a loose cannon
but you know very well
that you are going to impact me.
Your breath makes the world go round
that forms in my brain.
What were you thinking when you picked up the gun
and you decided to leave me alive
so that I would always think of you?

I was born in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas. Since I was a child I have been interested in film and photography but it wasn't until I left Mexico that I was able to buy a 35mm camera. I currently live in Toronto being a voyeur of the daily life of the streets.
