Crazy Love

December, twenty twelve,
Love aroused like summer breeze in winter.
She was breaking spine earning,
As people were at shops spending pesos
For clothes and wines.

Squatting on grasses high as women's stilettos,
She was pulling weeds for coins.
Her red nails were soiled,
Her cheeks were burned by heat
Less hotter than her flaming heart.

'Twas crazy for a young belle
To do manly duties for love.
Earning five hundred pesos 
For his lover's wish to Claus
And left her after Christmas.
