the lush grass
wet with rain
from
a rambling little storm
against my bare feet
as i luxuriate
beneath
the onyx blanket
of scattered diamonds

the heat
of the day
turns into
the heat
of the evening
with humid breath
against
sweat slick
skin

her sky
is azure brilliance
mine muted
by light pollution
a different kind
of embrace
the light holds her
while i hold
darkness as a lover
