the sun slips past the shade
to paint planes of light and shadow
across sleeping face.
.
fingertips, a protractor
measuring angles of jawline
of cheekbone
of curve under bottom lip
.
while navigating blindly
the labyrinth of heart
a few words spewing from my soul…

you first kissed me
in front of the porch light
our entwined shadows stretching
far into the gloaming
where the fireflies twinkled
Thanks Bard for the shadows…
