in may

how do i feel today?
warm, the sun is heating my legs
and i know i'm coming away, head up
from a hope left lost,
hopeful, knowing Love with never
lose me.
today is beautiful,
sweaty in the back seat of a truck
bound for tomorrow,
a tomorrow i don't know but trust
while drinking sweet tea
through a soda straw drinking
moments in through these five feet,
eight inches of body and
too-brown two eyes,
every moment, no matter the feeling
it gives me.
today is beautiful, so long as i
have moments to live.
