A Full and Brilliant Blue

Love in the time of Corona.

it says, and the joke passes.


then

And here I am.



A moment on the deck near the water. We bought sandwiches and had walked for a while. By the water. Near the condos. In the sun.

I had taken you to the treasure. The Source. The Place.

But now sandwiches and water and the cold breeze on a cool day. The water and the evening to us and the Place.

I stand and take footage of the water. Of the day. Of you. You eat your food and I sit next to you and I eat.


Are you with me?

Are you here with me?


My heart hides the thought away and above me the sky is a full and brilliant blue. Eternal and love. All.


"I love you," you say, touching my hand.

"I love you also," I say,


touching your hand.
