Like Birds
We, like birds,
Soared and dove and hollered
In the gentle air of a midsummers twilight
Before the watchful eyes
Of a loving and forever Yes.
Your exclamatory remarks
Don’t getcha too far,
Do they boy? (not anymore at least.)
This night was meant for lovers
And builders
Of the cloudy dreams
That float across the hole-punched sky.
And the wind dances upon my nose
As if to say we were meant to be.
