anniversary poem

sweet as tupelo honey
van morrison sang while
we
lingered in the sunday bed
comfortable in our bare skins
rumpled covers
folded with the flowered spread
of our years together

concentrated
and consecrated
as a premium nectar
the moment
bloomed in our
meadow of gratitude

our breathing
buzzed in sync
golden sticky and sweet

knowing we couldn't
hold on
forever
we licked
our honeyed lips
and kissed
