Tickling the Night Wind
by Joseph Immel
We locked hands on summer nights
brushing our feet with the summer dew.
We peeled fleshy plums together after red midnights,
and ate them.
We clutched the moon like a blanket,
our whispering became a cloud of moondust.
Clovers bloomed in the meadow,
beside a stream,
and everywhere your feet touched the ground.
And where they didn't,
they tickled the night wind, laughing :)
