I’m not one for sitting still today
before they’re sour let’s pick these ripening hours
so grab a pair of shoes and lace away
this garden’s tilled a harvest overfilled
would you protest
if I suggest pistachios
and macaroons instead
and as the wind blown tallgrass bends and sways
we’ll walk palms down with contemplative frowns
in partly cloudy skies
we can watch the varying designs
as cumulous and stratus clouds combine
and chase them through the atmosphere
with fingers laced I kiss your face and smile
I don’t want the sun to set tonight
with tape and twine let’s bind its warming shine
so grab a jacket pull those laces tight
we’ll climb the tiers of heaven’s celestial spheres
may I digress, are you impressed
with silly songs a beard and hairy chest?
and as the ether slowly fades to gray
we failed to still the day from twilight’s chill
please don’t close your eyes
we will watch the constellations rise
and chase them through the north Atlantic skies
then we will crack the firmament
and poke our heads into the other side
and now it’s best
at least I guess
to lay your head down
on my lap and rest
