sextant

Give me this:
It’s summer.

We step away
from the heat and noise
(you took my hand
unexpectedly)

And now we lie
our backs in the grass
feet extended to the far
and opposite poles
cheeks touching

The constellations are so close
they’re unseemly
and I can feel
your whole face change
as you smile
at something I’ve said
