This Night

       (for Teresa Dybevik)



This night is our pride.

We've danced together

like two wild flowers--

stalk to stalk,

crown to crown,

we've made love

under the canopy

of stars.



We recited strange

poetry and ate

exotic foods,

we dreamt each

other's faces--

you appeared

soft and delicate,

playful and dreamy

like the Northern Lights--

my beauty of Norway,

my star, my love,

my sun!
