You chase specks of cork from your wine
with your finger and flick them from nails
into the sprinkler’s aura, the halo of water's
shine from the sleepy sun and the cottonwood’s
latest release.

Wine with proper glasses, is an occasion
smuggled from your parents house.
I touch your upper lip with thumb and rub
through your early summer aura, the halo of sweat
and wine from your sunburned skin and the Pinot’s
amber settling.

You douse my hand in hair,
while sparrows chase crickets in the wet beds.
I get attached to that fistful of you,
slicing the slit of your dress with your knee
the softest razor ever, presses into me.

Fifteen and already sunset scheming
with fat liquored lips and sprinkler misted skin.
We search the house for
better beds to grow in.


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
