“On Strings of Love”

A moment in the park

before it gets too dark.

I’m trying to relax,

but insects fill our tracks.

The steps we leave are taken by

barbarians and slugs –

at least we have the kites above,

tied to us on strings of love.


Connected at the wrist

for one last summer’s tryst

below the coasting planes.

Most of this will change.

The walking paths and butterflies

will silently succumb.

At least we have the kites above,

tied to us on strings of love.


It’s too beautiful today.

The lines converge and slip away.


To spend the afternoon like this

does wonders for my blood,

staring at the kites above,

tied to us on strings of love.


Go back to “Secret Weapon”.
