thinking back
to summers spent in the land only you and I know —
take me to the place where words aren’t needed.
where the sun and wind and the slippery touch of skin
speak for us.
take me to the earth of the wet forest floor.
let me dig it into the bed of my nails
and wash it out again.
float with me on the surface of the lake.
I’m done with drowning love —
I want you to join me
where the sun
and sky
and earth
and water
blend so closely
you lose one into the other
and yourself with it.
