down south

Met her out in Costa Rica that summer we were on the streets on Liberia when it hit me crossed by an old casino long since burned out forgotten that’s when you looked at me ever since then and since that time down south I wondered what you meant back there never questioined though these things being the way they always are the timing wasn’t right but it was more than just that wasn’t it? Took horses into the mountains past ravines groves with mangos not quite ripe past howling monkeys and up to the ridge I could see you Either way, whatever it was shattered in Cay Caulker nothing good ever lasts not in Belize anyway all rounded down and divided in half leaning on the collossus to keep itself afloat you were there and when I saw your smile Got up and left my drink at the bar didn’t want to start trouble with the guy you came in with
