morning, love.

Beat the birds this morning,
doing 60 into the dawn
sunroof almost as cocky
as I felt singing my heart out
to the tape
that makes me taste you
strong as my coffee,
real was the sun
as it kissed my face.

Not a soul on the road
to object to me belting out
a love song to weaken the knees
my hair piled under a baseball cap
and I knew you would whip that bad boy off,
for the simple pleasure
of watching it spill about me,
grinning and sipping
my outraged laughter
like sweet tea
on the hottest day in August.

But I should not think of you,
or your touch
at speeds like this.
You go to my head like strong spirits,
seep into the tissue of my heart,
and wind yourself about my soul
like kudzu in the spring.
Please love---
you can have me
body,heart, and soul
but not until
the vehicle is parked.

That's a good place.
Wanna pull over?
