Ay, goldo, goldito, goldo
with those sunbathed baby cheeks,
I want to gobble you up in kisses.
Please go…

Poem
By Rigoberto González
Ay, goldo, goldito, goldo
con esos cachetitos asoleados,
te quiero engullir a besos.
Anda sigue, coquetón bronceado,
guiño de avestruz,
acostadito color desnudo
como tamal deshojado.
Arrímate más a la mesa, bebé,
que mis manos anhelan ser
sábana y funda de almohada
para disfrazarse de cama
y fundir sus sueños al tuyo:
tú, reflejo…
con esos cachetitos asoleados,
te quiero engullir a besos.
Anda sigue, coquetón bronceado,
guiño de avestruz,
acostadito color desnudo
como tamal deshojado.
Arrímate más a la mesa, bebé,
que mis manos anhelan ser
sábana y funda de almohada
para disfrazarse de cama
y fundir sus sueños al tuyo:
tú, reflejo…
