green almonds

the night draws me
away, in the company
of remembered bells
and a smile
like green almonds and smoke

who spoke?
it was not for my ears
nor your smile for my eyes
nor the wine slipping
through my veins
into my heart's alleys

my hand remembers
waves over coral
in coffee-colored sunlight
that touch was not for my hand
nor the salt spray
over the anemones

along the rocks
I carry
songs drifting on the sea breeze
laughter
exhaled into darkness
green almonds
and a smile
