Under a Rainbow
After three days and nights of miss-and-hit storms, We see the first signs of their disappearance. Walking up the deck stairs, to the kitchen, Having just lit the briquettes in the barbeque pit, I glimpse a brightly pulsating rainbow Bridging the south and north shores of our quiescent lake And call you to come outdoors, to witness it with me — Multicolored twine connecting two tin cans, With a kid, at each end, Listening to his friend's whispered secrets.
Only, those two children are us, Sending our sensuous "I love you"s back and forth, From tongue tips to lips — Kisses charged with primal excitement, Like that wonderment woman and man first shared, On recognizing the truth of their beauty, The interconnectedness of their innocent love, While naked under a rainbow reaching from then to now.
