The Night of a Kentucky Summer
The river rolls
sweeter than the sea.
Lapping waves are
hidden by trees.
Lightning bugs
flicker,
flicker over the water.
Competing with stars
to brighten the night
of a Kentucky summer.
Lacing my fingers tighter
into our entwined hands,
listening to the call,
the call
of a coyote running
across banks of rocky sand.
Turn to you,
your moonlit face.
Nothing more precious
in this place.
Another kiss,
one more lingering taste-
your eyes alight,
competing with stars
to brighten the night
of a Kentucky summer.
