ROSEBUDS, ABOUT TO BLOOM
in the air tonight hangs
an electric taste that leaves
my lips tingling with
april's promise come to pass: june.
climbing eye-blue skies,
the first sunrise lifts
over begging-to-be-found
four-leaf clovers.
with luck i'll find one smiling,
as if i was meant to pluck
her, a comfortable stranger.
we'll claim this summer as our own:
yesterday we plunged
beneath the dusky lake
as laughter skipped like stones.
we seemed to float forever,
knees nervously tucked,
before breaking surface.
today my cotton v-neck makes
for juvenile ice-cream drips
an inviting canvas.
the most headstrong careen
below your thumb.
tomorrow night
the stringy flesh of oaken
logs catch flame, provide
for cautious plumes
an opening,
a moment
to breathe.
and we with our puffed-sugar torches
yet unlit still wait for sparks.
