Sunlight sprinkles flecks upon the wall,
sneaking in through holes in hanging sheet.
Now another night has disappeared--
gone like droplets floating in relentless summer heat.
Making yarn of everything at hand--
what a way to spin the world away.
Fragile as a promise on my lips,
desire sits and waits for every thing you’ll ever say.
Can we stay like this for a long time,
in the breathless blur of the dawn?
Tongue-tied barriers to verbal bliss foregone.
Age may cool the buzzing in the blood;
fray the edges of a memory.
Moments flee before they leave a mark.
Freeze this one before a calmer love envelops me.
