Another Perfect Ending


...that life's most precious offerings
lay within its most mercurial and finite moments.
To know what it is to burst at the seams,
head nestled low, looking up at your lithe profile
silhouetted by a maze of dark curls.
The rugged black stubble beneath your arms
and the strong shoulders of a sleek wildcat
curving gracefully towards that warm glow of a smile
as we stare distantly off
at what we have accomplished with gleaming satisfaction.
Another of our perfect endings,
Giggling and alive as we part ways.
To walk now with augmented height,
Plucking new warmth and light from the seams
along our separate paths.
