Smiles That Reached the Stars

 

I was recalling today

the time our paths collided

And we danced mad

into the weeks,

like tornadoes

scavenging for a feast.

 

A whirlwind of ecstasy:

Laughter unhinged

Passion unbridled

And smiles that

reached the stars.

 

From where we are

it seems distant.

Though it was only

moments ago

we chased impediments off

with scowls.

Insisting on our

unabashed existence.

 

And still we do.

A bit off-center

from what we knew.

But the dust devil we grew

still

somewhere howls.
