Story Notes:

This is a short story in 4 parts that will be posted this week. This is told mainly from the perspective of a 20 year old guy so some of the conversation can be kind of vulgar and there's some drug use. Can't say I didn't warn ya!

Ballad

By Sonia Sanchez

(after the Spanish)

forgive me if i laugh
you are so sure of love
you are so young
and i too old to learn of love.

the rain exploding
in the air is love
the grass excreting her
green wax is love
and stones remembering
past steps is love,
but you. you are too young
for love
and i too old.

once. what does it matter
when or who, i knew
of love.
i fixed my body
under his and went
to sleep in love
all trace of me
was wiped away

forgive me if i smile
young heiress of a naked dream
you are so young
and i too old to learn of love.
