we coast through warm

orange amber horizontal lines

leading us home with 

the crickets bursting 

into their somber songs.

our heartbeats say volumes

but our tongues are heavy.

in this point of indecision-

your hands reach for mine.

it is when you breathe in and

slowly lean back to kiss my neck 

that i am thrown into certainty.

you are mine and

i am yours, damn it.
