Last Part
Not showered
Daring to march
Finished before the storm could power over us
It circled the city
For us
In blue
Wishing time could multiply like rabbits
But time’s not that cute
Your arms invited me in
I hugged you until I counted to ten years
It felt like a decade of connection
Your body, so promising against mine
Trust bonded us
Split just as the hug began
Or so it felt
Planted in love-stained grass
Red like blood, light like joy
Precious love, and now you’re gone
Two hours was forever
Until next time, friend
It was good to meet you
To turn you red
