Today is so perfect

The hot sun warming our faces and bodies

We close our eyes , facing it

and the wind sung in our ears

mermaids from the clouds

the liquidized sky

made all of blue and white

Today is so perfect

We watched Dune on Monday

and delayed making love last week

(ate ice cream instead)

Today is so perfect

The heat melts my rib cage

and my honeyed heart is exposed, boiling like syrup

and the bees come and fly around

The hive has been found!

They all buzz to each other

The news: we found it, we found it!

And just as they are about to rebuild their nest

on my chest

You sweep me away

and spread me on bread.
