Your smell lingers on me
mixing with lilac and grass
it makes me heady,
full of longing
You smell good

Everywhere lovers greet the day
A duck couple crosses
in front of me on the bike path
I love you

A wild turkey struts his stuff
for his girl and all to see
You are beautiful

Bumblebees **** nectar from every blossom they find
You taste good

A woman lies a blanket
on a mountain top,
fusses with it,
waits for her man
I want to hold you

I sit on a tree stump, freshly cut
its life-long lover
still stands strong next to it
shading me from the sun
I’m sorry
