Legs entwined Toes touching, limbs eager and so full of love His dark old jeans The jeans that sag on him I laugh to myself noticing. Watch him as he turns his head to the side Cocking that smile. My Italian elitist shoes, grazing his toes My Polaroid camera as my handy sidekick Just a moment. The contrast. Masculine and feminine. Light and dark. Big and small. Brown and black. Bare and clothed. Unity. All I feel with him, when I let myself go, is unity. If only I could seize my dark monster Grab it by the neck and free it into the ocean. Stop it before it is released. What I would do to completely put her away. Let the toes continuously touch
By my side or alone. Whether he is present, or no. A snapshot created, to laugh at To enjoy. The two lovers gaze into each other’s eyes After the clicking and releasing is heard. Moist lips, wet tongues Celebrating unearthed love. What we have, oh what we have. Examine it, stand outside My scientific glasses on, so thick Your hands in the air, with such care We fought for it all. We wanted it to be so much. Young, so young. Wanting the world. Careful now of the snow globe—Don’t grip it too tightly. But I will dance with the seahorses always. And you had to drag me away. You laughed and smiled your brightest smile and pulled me away. Fantasy. I wish I too could link my tail onto sea branches. “Such a little lamb, with such a ***** mouth.” You loved me with all your might? I remember this day so well. Staring at seahorses entwining their tales on branches Like children we stared on You chuckled at my trance The seahorses, They so comfortably nestled and necked And then there we were. Sweating in the hot sun You in jeans Me dressed like summer. Moist lips Wet tongues. Seahorses you couldn’t pull me away from. Urging me to pet the baby sharks As excited children danced around you and I. Toes touching Bare legs and old jeans. Masculine and feminine. Put the monster away. This is everything. This was everything. We were everything?
