Spring Grass

Dreamy Piano-notes accompany our steps.

Spring Grass

Dreamy piano notes
accompany our steps.
Beneath our feet—
sway a thousand small straws
of green, organic silk.

Our steps are fragile
and uneven.
Your hand is sweaty
yet cold and dry
At the same time.

From your eyes fall
small, mournful drops
that pollinate the plain—
Leaves keep them company
while I long for oxygen.

I am losing breath,
mourning the loss of time.
Your gaze is ripe,
your dandelion pupils dance
through the spring of the night.

With every step
your hand slides.
Each elusive second—
I fear 
you might let go.
