I want to think about you, un-posed, beneath the mimosa, on the warm morning, with the sun urgent to stretch high above the protected terrace. Rake on the sand, careful about the plants, reckless about the night, a thick band of silver, about your wrist, each stone, agave and orange. I want to watch you pick the cards up, safely, corner to corner, unhurried, like softball, near the end of the game. I want to know the thoughts, delicate, triumphant, beaded with drops, not tears. Threads that shine with the last light. Deft finger tips careful to unwind, and not to unlock.
