#411 "side by side in orbit"

an empty dock
beneath the light of a half full-moon
a young couple treads water full of romance
they climb on top of the wooden dock
extra meaning beneath their simple comments
down the beach, sparks shoot up from a bonfire
they swim back
and run forth
to the warmth of towels
in the chill of midnight
and fumble for their clothes
folded smooth on a fallen tree
