Let’s kiss like real people do
forget the conspiracy
to keep me away
from you.
Let’s lay out a blanket smooth
on the ground I surrender
put your sweet lips on mine soft.
Weeping willows shade
a lush new green grass below
the patchwork quilt will protect
our bodies entwined.
The moisture from the valley
cools the heat between
serendipitous
streets carrying the eyes of
children.
