The Avow

I remember that first declaration
           in the shifting sound of “I love you”

as if a child held her ahhh
           peeking in at Christmas

or a babe’s intake of gasp
           when his puppy licks his face

as serene silence shimmers, thereafter,
            with a hush of want before you

eyes seeking an answer
            in twilighted depths of blue

as glimpsed from pools
            of ocean green

a glimmer, then, to touch
            as sky meets sea

that thinnest line of shifting sound
            in the thump    beat    breath    smile    of

I love you.
