dandelions

sucking down the violent rain while locked in a kiss
the grass tickling your back and
dandelions
snagged in your hair like a crown
my knees in the mud and
I have you yes I have you

the shock of the fire passes between us
your body rattles and your paused lips
shudder against my chest

and we are oh so cold again
and the fright lingers
on both our faces

I'm sorry beautiful
I'm tired and
I'll bury you
tomorrow
