Love Song
       

Words leapt from your mouth then
like a gymnast on the moon. You were so
lively and full of pockets.

The light in Massachusetts
tricks the mind, but I know
how we were both in love
with a fickle girl who existed,
and how the desert heat

whirled around her body like an
exploding diesel engine. Never
have I known such happiness.
