breath on my shoulder
dawn sneaks past the window blinds
I lay motionless

I watch the sunset
in the puddle before me
reflecting clearly
scarlet and gold vividly
stretched across the horizon

a black cat slinking
wrapping her body around
corners like Dali

through broken mini blinds
dawn splashes on the pillow
highlighting cheekbones
the tips of your eyelashes
golden in the early sun

crabapple blossoms
thickly blanket underneath
stirred by a crisp breeze

I rock on the porch
watching the dark clouds smudging
miles away from me
it’s beginning to rain there
the cold wind carries the scent

mist brushing my face
fog rolls along the river
your dark eyelashes
thickly beaded with droplets
each refracting the moon’s light

from two yards over
the lawnmower still buzzes
after the sunset
we watch bats swooping
their silent acrobatics
a tango at dusk
the cicadas sing
over our conversation
drowning out the words
I watch your tongue flick
gathering the amber drops
along the smooth rim
we sip tequila slowly
warmed more by heated glances
