taliesin, west


where the ocotillos rise

and the desert breeze

winds around the branches,

 

where the honey-essenced mesquites

perfume the sand

licked up

in the sonoran drift,

 

i sway here, too—

waiting for you,

twisting just a half smile

until you come,

 

your hair smelling like pine,

and mine

like shadows

coming out into the sun

the color of us

 

photo © jennifer wagner

let’s share this together,

valentine,

 

petals

more

than

deep blush

 

at your sip,

at my touch

 

see how

we’ve changed

the color

of us

 

yellow sunset to

crème de violette,

 

turn me

scarlet,

valentine

 

your elderflower,

my honey,

mix better

than wine—

 

let’s

take our time,

no rush,

 

moonblue to

citrus spice—

 

cool,

until touched,

 

see how

we’ve changed

the color

of us
