NEW YEAR SONG

seed pods
bursting
hiding
and, yet, smiling
as itty-bitty bubbles
touching me
fooling you
I am feathered
camouflaged
peering in wonder
at the bounty
surrounding all
I touch
which softens
the space
I am within
nature
nurture
you stare at me in wonder
as if this is the first time
our eyes have
locked
in loneliness and longing
creeping past
yet, singing
at our moonlit dynasty
in the heat of the summer
and your touch cools
my inner thighs
and your eyes
smolder as if to say
we are the two
who matter
in the world
on this night​
