Day 27: Night Swimming

Bosnia, 2016.

The sky was putting on show for us that night.

A blanket of diamonds and silken moonlight.

The tide romancing the shore and kissing our feet.

Pulling us in ‘til we’re shoulders deep.

The moon like an oracle, your lips a shrine.

You always knew how to barter with your tongue.

Every word like a vesper.

My evening prayer: “I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you.”

Song: Love Me Tender — Elvis
