We spent a long time just looking at each other...
Walking down the trail, excited with the idea of trees and becoming animals again we discussed humans and their mental pollution
Man is murdering planet and all she can do is sit there and become swallowed in his filth
Shimmering clouds drifted overhead and small birds seemed to follow us through the brush
I asked her if she wanted to live forever and she just looked at me

We sat in tall grass and ate cheese on apples, drank cheap wine
She asked where I would want to live, if I were to live forever
I smiled and looked around
content with these clouds and this grass
content with the slight breeze and the prints left on my skin
Here, I said.
I handed her another apple slice and she laughed
