Bonnie is doing something
to a song about silver linings
that can't even be legal
in that taxing state of yours.
I chose that one
because fall brings you
always a finger touch away.
Your eyes call me that,
something moon kissed fine
that comes unbidden,
calls you to travel light,
leave the baggage by my door
and come dance with me slow,
no thought to what we owe,
not a mention of the interest
someone else might think due.
Just my chin notched
in that spot on your shoulder
and that moment
when it feels like breathing
is only what I do
when I hold close
to that heart of yours.
Improbable, I give you,
but Bonnie's voice
has the habit of saying your name
to the place in me
you never really leave.
