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.
