A Love Letter to Thailand
Your head is nestled into my shoulder
or perhaps my head rests on your breast
I can feel your softness and warmth
as our fingers idly play and tease.
Our legs casually stretch towards the sunset
as the waves slap softly at the seawall
Occasionally a tourist walks beneath us
smiling quietly as they notice our dangling legs.
We speak little, and move less
engulfed by the heat of the early evening
Dragonflies and swallows make lazy circles about us
hunting mosquitos and singing to the dying sun.
Soon it will be dark, the mosquitos fled
even the faint shrieks of the bats will be gone
We will peel our bodies apart, shake off our torpor
and leave to find food, to talk and laugh among friends.
Tomorrow brings another day
but for now, we want for nothing.
