Love Poem: No-See-Um Sway

No-See-Um Sway

Lulled by the no–see-um’s song
the grasses and I are yawning
tilting our heads 
in the breezes falling off the day
as if cocooned in imagined protection beneath 
a raccoon mama’s chin
we sway…we sway…we sway the night to day …away

and above us the grasshopper's song floats 
in swaths across the lavender universe (13.8 billion lightyears to bring to you)
a light house sways across the gray
trying to say...

















I love you
