Public Display Of Affection

Ducking into shade
If only for a moment
To speak to the sun
I realize
The warmer it is
The more I write
My public display
As I swivel to find
Amongst the bare
And bloated bodies
A perfect one
Whose story I'd like
To bear beneath my pen.

Ducking into shade
If only for a moment
To sing with the breeze
A chorus of emerald
Joyously joining in on our song
Carrying snippets of conversation
From other arguments with the sun
I am overrun
By the boundless energy
Set upon it's rays
And answers that glare
Causing me to squint
Because I need time
We
Need time
To handle the truths...
