Think about it and you'll realize that there is no better color than wine-stained teeth on high school students' prom nights and muffled giggles from the girls bathroom in the banquet hall of some community center or middle school gymnasium or overgrown grange hall tell the secrets of the universe under rushing water and dripping mascara and notes scrawled in the grout with hearts and other embellishment
Damp palms on shoulders and waists with batting lashes and shy smiles and stomachs growling from a skipped dinner toes turned outward, awkward when the slow song moves to charging beat and hands flex like an accidental graze on the hot stove a hip shake to assuage and seem like they meant it all along that moment guides the other movements and other movements
Driving up the hills and back down into the canyon up the fire trail and to the right, no, the second right crap, you passed it, turn around watch the glitter lights of neighborhoods and boats know there really are no better photographs than those from disposable cameras that are blurred and laughing developed weeks later and comingled with images of her dog and your mom and the backyard with candles blown out
