Do not try to understand my name.
Do not try to understand my name, do not fall in love with me.
I will kiss your music, finger your books, I will make all you favorite things gasp at the touch of our memories, you won’t be able to try them, without tasting my flavor on your mind like a sliver.
I will destroy your sanity, claw your clothes, stain any clean spot.
I will make you rain until your body reaches your calves.
I will inflict on your nooks the most beautiful natural disasters.
Do not try to understand my name, do not try to guess why a hurricane was named after me.
-Lex O. Basurto
