intrigue goes with any picnic... #NaPoWriMo Day 27



  intrigue goes with any picnic 


You were in my dream 
we were walking along 
a rocky little pocket of big pebble sand 
we had to crawl down through 
bramble-d sumac to reach 

you said we only have 
a small window 
to breach heaven 
between us, folding 
and tucking away  
your tide chart 

the Sun was setting 
Clair de Lune getting 
on replaying dusty memories 
we say nothing 
we dive right in 

we became 
feasted feasted 
breasted beast-ed 
we became 
breathless sea 
tongue landers 
we became 
pulse and wrist kisses 
fabric destinies 
dirty knees, sandy pleas
Love, you cried 
is this immediacy 
and never anything less 

we rested 
bitten sated 
gloaming 
eaten in too 
slip silk dark velvet 
covering us a star fall come sky 
an ocean begging to climb 
back home against 
us, shimmied down to 
our bare essential being 
rite where we needed be 

when you packed 
the hiking lamp headbands 
on a gloriously sunny afternoon 
i had no idea what you were up 
or were going to be into 
intrigue goes with any picnic 
i said, smiling as we shimmied 
back up through the brambles 
on home, another scent poem
