I keep describing the air
…………………………………..here
…………..the same way every time
………………………..to people who know
…………………………………..anyway
you hold it in wet clumps
……………………..hands a constant sheen
…………..of salt & sun
on skin ……………I can’t stop
…………..thinking about your sun
……………………………………………….bright hair
& the way I say everything
……………………………………I’m saying
………………………to you
