dusk settles over

daisies along the white fence

painting both salmon

Bioluminescence

fireflies flicker

along the edge of the bay

it reflects their light

Extensions

sun casting shadows

stretching across the white sand

the bay streaked with red

sun-baked

crisp sun-scented sheets

rasping gently across my

Tender sun-crisped skin

Pretenses

I brew you coffee-

your hand motions, stop pouring

at only half cup;

deliberately you add

until all you taste is cream.

what I should have said

two glasses of wine

fingertip skimming your lips

mine part to whisper

Enticing

Burrowed in blankets

Eyes squinched shut against the light

The scent of bacon
