Smile
At the sun on your new shirt
At the love with which it was presented
At the sunlight on the golden hair
Where the sleeves end and where words begin
The bare feet, summer in your garden
Mid afternoon, backdrop to the children's voices
Back, stop; think on the gothic and lesbian relations
Unable to say
This is me, my one and only one true love
Lean back
Into dimples and dapples, the slow soft shadows
Over boundaries, beyond cusp of life and dream
Over the waterfall, dry in the drought of summer
Silenced by the lack of water
Quenched without first slaking thirst
The bare feet in the slow flowing stream
Mid afternoon, mid life, mid wife lovers
In between the before and the evergreen
Back, way along, songs of senorita's and sombrero's
Think now; while making ever lasting love
Of all the words which say I loved you
