["Let's fall off into the ocean]

A day at the park

"Let's fall off into the ocean 

& see where we land", 

She says, dotting my arm 

with her finger-tip.

She commands her pointer

Like a brush--painting

Her love on the curves of
My skin.

Swallowing up the lazy sun, 

I squint and tickle the
Fantasy out of her breath &

Laughter fills the air.

The birds and their peeping--

Pecks remind me that 

We're in a park--watching the 

River like sky, guide the Mackerel 

School of clouds on by.

The tress play along as the 

Wind fills the boughs--

Crackling--creak--like &

Her laughter fills the air.  

I let the wind fill my lungs,

And I pulled her down as I 

Grasp for breath--feeling the

Tingle of fresh fish under my

Bare feet and 

Her voice fills the air.

She screams and shouts as

The Birds fleck and flutter--

And I throw waves of grass 

Over waves of grass

Over waves of grass
