In her country
I watch woman of the north
Gazelle bound from rock to green moss and waters
Edge excite
Look look
And point her country
Sweat between breasts and
Thump thump footfall
Of sing loud arms flail
Dinner served in spoon
With patsy cline sitting beside us and
Farm couple of single pork chop dinner
For one and fish and chips locals
Spill water laughing
Through deep scared neck
And hair tied loose bobby pin mess
Best hamburger with the works underpass of formidable
Web girders new beside old
Cement pylons beside still, and still
Hard fast to bottom as sentinels three span this river
Of soft hands holding and kiss overhead
Two, no three, no five hawks
Overheard our laughter.
Let the world be sentinel to us. Just that. Let the world be.

oh,
xo!
Reading this later, removed from the night itself, it reads beautifully. A collage of us. One of love.
