late afternoon sun, we lay atop the bed with sand on our feet. trenton's eyes are green and tired from the sea, his breath is quicker than mine and there is salt in his hair. we talk, i look into his face and he looks into mine. we tease, laugh. in the yellow light, my chest aches with love, eager adoration. i feel steady, i feel alive.
love's bursting here. it always is. thank you.
