colorado grass

the summer unfolded like a shell around a pearl

life so easy it just unwinds mystery, rolling

I thought you were asleep, I set the alarm

but you roll over and press your face into mine

sweet kisses scrunched up into the pillow

long days into long nights

unrestrained and wild and so easy

so easy

breathing in breathing out, chanting

flying over oceans, in beds not alone

laughing uncontrolled like hiccups

barely thinking

so happy
