Dear Henri
I’d like to live here
in pleasure
in love
just nature
no judgment
from god up above
swimming in colours
defying what’s real
enjoying our bodies
redefining “ideal”
celebrating the skin
each other
our curves
like children
just playing
no high purpose served
laughing and dancing
we’ll swing hand in hand
no boombox required
we’ll make our own band
and when the night comes
we’ll drink wine from full cups
with smiles on our faces
we’ll sleep huddled like pups
and await the sun rising
a fresh, beautiful day
no voicemails, no deadlines
no e-bills to pay
in this magic garden
there’s not much to say
but if anyone asks
I’m extending my stay.
