I want to hang
on this rusted swing
and listen to
the squeaky lullaby
of the chains.
And the wind has
her own song,
a rustling tune
that whispers
through the trees.
A bird plunges
into the gurgling lake
like those nights
I stood beside you
rinsing mouthwash.
And then we kissed
through minty breaths
and fingers tangled
in wind-blown hair
guiding swinging hips.
