you said the trees were prettier now
how they lined up like video game people
waiting their turn to be special
when you touched them with your eyes

and I was the sky pretending forest ranger
herding whispers around your charms slowly
slow motion so you could taste the residue
of each flicker rubbing off on your lens

the possibilities seemed endless with love
like doors just opened into more doors
or windows looked out onto other windows
and the things you toyed with grew sensitive

like every time we did something over again
it was the first time we both recognized
how it felt to have it spraying over our skin
like the sunshine did those late afternoons

when you held me out in front of your lipstick

Ms Nicole...thanks lady...you can make them do anything I understand now if we can just find some that run on solar instead of batteries.

many v. fine lines in this 'write' ...

though, I am particularly fond of:

"they lined up like video game people
  waiting their turn to be special"
