Girls don’t climb trees,
so I climbed them,
often,
and especially,
at nightfall in dresses...

“You know, a lot of people don’t love themselves. And they go through life with deep and haunting emotional conflicts. So the length of life means that you must love yourself. And you know what loving yourself also means? It means that you’ve got to accept yourself.” ~#MLK Jr.

I exhale your name
into the night air
because I want
to say I love you
and I hope
a wind catches it
and carries it
and places it
in such a way
next to your heart--
beating so far away--
that it settles in
beside you
as you wake,
and you feel it
like sunlight.

Wrapped
in dreams
of Paris
and crepes,
powdered
and sugary,
the taste
of sweet sin,
the trail
of salty,
summer skin,
not even the breeze
can squeeze
between
us,
but for lips
that steal sighs
and tongues
that roll cries,
you under me,
me under you,

and loud.

Your eyes
glide over me
like an autumnal sunset
dances over trees,

your kisses,
the poetic lyrics
that undress them,

and I,
too,
surrender
and sing
and succumb
to the music
of a moon
who knows
the secretive rapture
of nature.
