..............I name them as though they are stars—
.......Zeus, Pegasus, Orion—I am in love
.lipsticked onto their forehead
..............in thick, plum letters. Their names
.......are carved into wood: aspen
.and birch, bark peeled off
..............to give space to Bill and Molly
.......Forever and this wind, all around,
.in our shirt, filling, emptying
..............the space, this heart brown
......but not red. This silver arrow.
.By the trees, this morning,
...............no raccoons, no peafowl wing
......to flail as against a ghost
.force, no ants, only
............t..the two teenagers in love,
......sharing lips, leaning nude
.and just-showered
...............against the other,
.......against the trees . . .
