A girl like you

I want a girl like you

with an undefined ethnicity,

a tall and proud woman

who can sing her way into my world

a woman who can split atoms,

discover new infinites,

a woman who can teach me

the secrets of science

someone who can follow me

when I get arrested for dissenting,

from revolting, who can in solidarity

be a sister, and a companion

a creator, an experimenter,

a singer, someone who can calm

a crowd with the mellow tones

of her alto voice

a head adorned with silver,

signs of knowledge and wisdom,

a voice that can calm the revolt

that lives in my head

a fountain of life,

the brewmaster of a concoction

that blends the best of me

and the magic of you

a caregiver that never rests,

the one who is not intimidated

by my wounds, my pain,

or my incapacities

someone who does not own me,

who cares for my independence,

my thought, my feeling,

who sets me free and waits

I want a girl like you

or maybe I should say

I want to find myself in your arms

the day I die
