Your eyes grabbed me, Lovila
As I sought to mimic your Nepalese-
You pulled down your mask
So I could see your mouth
Sound out the words to “Happy New Year.”
It was an intimate gift
That caught me off guard.
We ended up as close together
As two might allow
In a public place.
Did you seek out a
Quiet space when you got home?
I asked, and you looked at me with a
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
It could have been
In Nepalese…
You shook me to my teeth.
