Lady baby-
and I love you
ancient times with
urns and scattered
leaves across the breeze

and breath across
your arching neck
and kiss me with
a mother nurtured
her face against the babe

and toes to crunch
sand and ashes
dusting on the hearth
feet on fire's warmth
of chocolate dripped-

melted chips
a melted heart
and soft hands- lovely
intertwined and tugging
the corners of your mouth

with inappropriate laughter
a burst of collision
when I drove all night
to sleep under the skyline
my hands in your hands

under the tie-dye
the ripple of tie-dye
