felt it running from the eyes and the pores: the salt of love.
It is something to have whispered wild thank-yous
in the only ways we know how.

to careen across the pages staggering
like a drunken fellow, giddy
on moonshine or sunset.

goosebumps,
and in the utmost corners of oaks,
leaves laughing.
