An Idyllic Afternoon
The sun massages away tensions.
I relax beneath its strong arms.
You sit with your head thrown back,
mouth partly open as if swallowing the day.
I tickle your lips with a blade of grass.
You laugh and capture it with your teeth.
You snap a flower at its stem,
and use its bloom to paint my portrait.
I am both the canvas and model,
we frame it with the afternoon.
