Bouncy ball lovers
 exploding in colors as they
 lean down over the pier 
move like the tide
 on an October night 
and they laugh till they run out of air
 the moon sets beneath the ocean line
 watch it go down down as their emotions start to rise
 far away sound of the waves
 unchosen their strides
 
slowly they open, like arms that were folded
 like eyes that woke up in the sun
 cautious to feel, and anxious to heal this loneliness that had begun
 she fell in the bed in his arms
 they tumbled around
 their heads lost beneath eachothers hearts
 the walls were surrounded in unfinished art
 
They fit together like love on a letter
 like tulips on a table for two
 and on that same day as she left for Santa Fe
 he said, "I'm rather crazy for you."
 and he brushed down his hair to one side
 and he went through the rounds of his knuckles popping from the left to the right
 he took out his canvas and painted blue-green lines
 
oo oo oo...
