her tongue found embrace in mine;
as the wintry wind whistled
along in the still-green pines,
their icicles melting in her heat
i found solar solace in them,
as did the wintry birds,
stopping and singing
on the boughs above

it is there i lost care for time
as the wind pushed us closer
i found love under her hair,
i found juncos tickering in their notes
and i think i'd join them with my laughter
from her embrace, no such thing
as overlove when it is you
that pleases me more, dear
