What I Would Like

I would like to lie in the sun 
With you again, the air, the sky
Above us, the pine cones watching
Our eyes and arms, the wind bringing
Our names.

I would like to see the sun on your face,
A face in the light; the morning sun,
A smile that wakes mine, see what you’ve  done?
The sea’s catch in full, a meadow full in flowers,
Their colors turn me from myself, to something
Else.  There you are, a wind that only warms, 
The slow falling of a leaf, it falls on my face 
And I can trace its lips, like yours, with my lips, 
Your face in a light that tips me from my perch.

The pine cones know, they heard me say,
They know and threaten to say-
The sun forms in rays of a thousand stars,
A day that ribbons light on your eyes 
And arms. I would like to lie in the sun
With you again, and have the wind  
Serenade our names, across the meadow.
