If I only had one “I love you”
and my whole long life to give it,
I’d give it to you today.
A hasty, precious choice,
but you should know that
my perfect joy
is soft, blue,
close to
you.

Spotlit between elms, I sweat in the sunlight;
long deprived, my skin weeps for vitamin D.
I stick to the black mesh beneath us,
suspended over too-long grass
and the bugs that thrive there.
The clouds are cirrus—my favorite kind,
though they aren’t enough to ease our eyes,
squinted straight up at bright blue
and leaf-shine. You close yours.
The breeze carries a shiver;
my damp shirt becomes a cold compress.
That field below us whispers
as I draw your sticky body closer.
Someday this moment won’t exist
even as a memory.
