A peninsular lighthouse.

We drove together at noon

in my parents’ van, gulping

roadside cherries—two bucks


a pound—your laugh in my soul,

the vineyards and sea bordering us,

the breeze bursting across our laps,

C major arpeggio of your voice.


We drove back at dusk, cherry red sun pale

next to you. I’ll never love another.
