"Keep your face always towards the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you." -Walt Whitman


I never liked my hair

tossed over to the right

but you threw it up and over 

under the moon that night. 

 

You settled your face 

in the crook of my neck;

you turned a pretty mess

into a lovely wreck.

 

Planting your growing kisses

that eventually turned to trees

sprouting up and up and up

and blooming in my knees.

 

And now when I'm cold

and our trees are bleak and bare

I toss my hair to the right

and it feels like you're there.
