The beginnings of Spring are upon us
as we peel out of your driveway
under the cover of night,
breathless as our hearts beat
furiously in our chests,
each one echoing off our frail
ribcages.
I roll the windows down,
letting the sweet air
blow through our tousled hair
and the volume is up to a deafening
level as we blast our favorite songs,
singing along with our broken voices
as one,
together at long last.
