 </div><p></p>our grasses aren’t green,
<p>the kind of love that grow here</p>
<p>need not lay on them</p>
<p> </p>
<p>our love is upright,</p>
<p>we love on our toes</p>
<p>under shades of bearded trees</p>
<p> </p>
<p>our oaths are etched on trees,</p>
<p>which do more than bear our names</p>
<p>like signatures dotted on papyrus</p>
<p> </p>
<p>our love is for the evenings</p>
<p>when cheerleaders go to roost</p>
<p>and we have only, but ourselves!</p>
