Her soft hands brought back moments of youth
of childhood memories that left their shy selves
at the swing sets of the backyards of the midwest

She brought back the golden skies crust
where the sun sets just right
just against the backdrop of the ocean
where the season of Fall begins to nudge its way
past the dirt filled khakis of the boys
and the tangled pony tails of young girls

Hands
through movements of time
until the gold encrusted sky
touched the hands of everyone that surrounded her.

She fell towards the month of Augustus
the man that now stood as a statue
was once the skin on his bodies template
of heart, of soul
of a beautiful set of eyes
just like his and as he placed them on hers
he, like Augustus,
touched strokes of her thighs inner secrets
until midnight swayed the trees to their burgeoning eyes

It was their first time
their first memory of sleeves becoming undressed, undone
with scriptures scribbled across their bodies
until rapturous, one in the same
with the morning beckoning at her backside
like the suns quiet hello
her soft hands,
next to his temple
violin to the morning rise; encore of the previous nights performance.
