Three Poems by Mike Meraz

Last night
I talked
Too much
To a girl
In my
Bed

There was a
Point when
I knew
I should just
Shut
Up

And kiss
Her

Which
Led
To
Another
Conversation.

The
Emptiness
Is not
Filled

I do not
Want

Emptiness
Is not
Always
A bad
Thing

It is
Sometimes
Mass
Potential.

Let me see
If you can
Hold my
Weight

She lays
On top
Of me
Horizontally

She is at
Least
140 lbs

Of
Love.
