on champagne waves
the unspoken snap of knowing
an event is at hand
in the snowsoft they came
one then the other
tentative in the rose light
the deer whispered down the dune
blending in sundown lace pines
their unseen presence came into my laughter
effervescent waves and waning sun
were outshadowed by the miracle of tenderness
a deep silent surprise crackled in me
Jessica
ice light on the ocean
serenely unrelenting in constant motion
but more
she’s the perfect limb
the poised senses of the wary
she’s the ecstatic soundless step into the open
the mottled fawn brushing past
my gentle one
my sunset hush
I’m filled with splashing surf in loving you
go gently perfect peace
i love you
