Foolproof


Foolproof

Before we climb the stair, we should just sit here,
meld by the dimming fire, scan the sky for stars
tonight. Hold my hand tight, feel that we're right;
thoughts become one in silence. Look, see boughs

of evergreen alight from smokey plumes that rise;
watch over we two, huddled in lawn chairs, sharing
one last beer. In hoodies, huddle near; so vacuous,
the sky can't steal remaining heat. It's foolproof.

Molecules between us bathe in dimming dark.
Mosquitos respect our blood, don't mark our skin.
A smile spans my face, been stuck in our space
since spring brought us hope of summer. And,

I'm lingering tonight, preserve what feels right,
to savor the only true light from your eyes. Don't
think you realize just yet, how perfect, though
I know you're tired, indulge me. It's foolproof,

lifelong love we're bound to share, dim these
thoughts to chill, you have me to hold as we rise.
Turn out the backyard lamp; weather got too damp.
So, together we climb, seek the bed for dry comfort.

I'll love you every day, with each reimagined way.
I know you'll hear me say, it's foolproof, our love.
When the dark returns, silent, just me and you.
Quiet in the dark 'til the last ember spark, foolproof.
