White Rain

On Saturday

The smell of head on the pillowcases

Stranded in the air fuses with the scent

Of a waning white rain outside the window

A lawn mower sputters a lewd song

Spurring Seducing Absorbing

In all its mechanical beauty

We listen with foreheads touching

Whispering prayers under a blue energetic sky

Until all the foreign sounds slip away

Then your skin sinks quietly into silk and

We rock like this all morning

In a rhythm as careful and precise as the sea

Laden with warmth from night’s full sleep

Our bodies melt and drip like yolk

How thick and sweet your plight is

Sapping out of limbs

Quelling no such disguise

You trouble me again

Under the opportune faith of a

Yellow fertile sun

We rise to the dawn

“Father” I say

I bleed in the new language we speak
