do you know how
this makes me prone
to love?

this sneaking out
on my own
to catch the twilight?
this sprinkler
water running
over the concrete
beneath bare feet?
this fleeting hour
where I can meet
life with all I am?
this prancing around
the neighborhood
to feel life, to bathe
in the world I
secretly want to inherit
have you always known
to show up here?
that you'd find me
here with my heart
wide open and free?
at twilight...?
