faded mulberry shirts
and spheres of green and white light
slivers of blue sky

speckled sunlight
floats

landing in your eyes,
on your nose,
in your beard

smiles
lips & eyes
(SOULS)

tie dye
and your skin & flesh & bones
underneath

hammock
taut white ropes under my spine,
my words stuck
in the web
of your mouth

the sight of you,
the curve of your profile
next to me

the mottled canopy
of branches and breath and laughter
above me

my heart
singing
