el cerdito vive en un poema (the piglet lives in a poem)

can you write a poem on command?
can you, will you?
improvise a love story
or tell me about the stars,
the moon, the notebooks
hiding under a pile of laundry,
the secrets you won’t even
tell to yourself at noche
before you fall asleep

you need poems about yourself
in this world of secretos
he made you fall,
so I cursed gravity
and blind hearts
that wouldn’t know
amor if it kissed them
under the estrellas
and you’ll use up four
cuadernos trying to tell me
how it came to be
that you wrote in my voice
explaining about
a piglet who knew
how to speak Español

please write me a poem
escríbame por favor un poema
and make it a happy one
can you, will you?

you know the piglet
will earn a happy ending.
