On a dust plain, you can see heat
distort dry fauna fading green.
My bones ache, but blooms in your eyes
distract, help me heal with precious,
amber light.

On shaded porch we rock and glide,
side by side all these years.
Silence so perfect, I kiss you
passionately, again,
feel the cicadas unrest and tremor.

We could strip to salt flesh I long to devour.
You stand to refill our lemonade.
My hand brushes the tender underside
of your boot cut denim.
Not long ‘til dinner, sunset in Sedona.

We can afford the loss of sunrise.
Cayenne canyon of soaring rock
fences us willingly within.
No taste for dinner but soft cotton.
Aroma of sandalwood encircles.
Hot limbs entwine and cool,
before I feel beating beneath breathing
and hold the tender core
like a baby.

Thankful, all these years
absorbing color of sunrises
and the view across a shared room.
You could be a memory, constant in dreams.
Somehow, here, my soul’s match.
I caught a star beneath an endless vault
in Sedona.

Cayenne canyon of rock surrounds two lovers in Sedona where he finds her heart beating.
