Virginia

I want to go to Virginia

With a girl named Virginia.

Feel the sullen breeze cross my face,

Surf over the knobby contour of my nose, 

Then whiz past my ear as I hold Virginia close.


Her honeysuckle shampoo 

Permeating my brain.

Both sets of our eyes gaze riverward,

Wondering if the dream had started

Or is this the magical reality

We forever wished for.

With my phaser on stun clipped at my side

We kept on along the water’s edge 

Hand-in-hand. Our skin dry, warm, 

And glowing, with our heads full of 

Miracles and our hearts 

In serene syncopation.
