bathing suit

a poem for PS

swimming around you in circles

yes,

in the hot pink bathing suit

that is yours now

every time i wear it,

you know,

and then

the sauna, i say

no, you say

(it’s your joke)

but yes,

as you always say

to my requests

which are not too many

(yet)

when did i fall in love with you?

5 years ago, your eyes

holding me fast

as you stroked me,

or was it how you spoke

to that child in the sauna

just now

so, so kind

while i sweated there,

hot pink bathing suit,

heart swelling

sublime

next to you

?
