Framing a sliver of our love
Wrapped by a reptile-print frame
is a glossy sheet, a print covered in
greens and blues: water, trees, elements
of a fertile land on a cool day.
I stand there with my love,
his pale shirt and skin contrasting my shades
of brown.
Touch the reptilian frame (in a weird tint of turquoise);
feel the soft ridges of the skin, and tell me
I did not feel that in the park that day.
The water and trees drank in the sun
as we wandered the grounds, stopping for a moment,
to have that moment captured as we stood
against a backdrop of our favorite colors.
A protective sheet of plastic preserves the virgin gloss
of the print, preserving a day
when I could relax in the arms of my love.
