She took her clothes off
Her winter tea on the table across from her
The night was her porch, shouting from her heart
Until the blue wind stopped, like the morning dawn.

It is not my right to dream,
To believe in the midnight summer night
It is not my right to see a woman like a scarf run her eyes to the wind
The way the mothers of the west let their newborns crawl to the very corners of their rooms.

She took her clothes off because the color of my eyes
could not keep up with all they layers she wore
With her slightly naked skin, slightly falling breath
I kissed her mouth and the oceans spread for the angels to be alive and well

Beyond the way she felt her skin rub against mine
I kissed her cheeks for I was scared that they would harden,
Scared that the night would go dark and lose sleep because of what we had,
Scared because I havenÕt seen this yet.
