a moment




This is how I want you.
Irrationally.
Like the last wisp
of orangy light at dusk.
Shadows melting
till they become
starlight.

No, no lofty thoughts.
A suspended moment,
holding desire,
beauty,
you,
me.


I look over your shoulders
not touching
yet.
Holding togetherness
in a breath
not let out,
yet.

Light
quivers on your hair,
like a secret glance.
A moment becomes
a legend.
