A Natural Reaction

Aching feet with dozing toes
But even through the pain it shows:
I’m smiling.

No more fights with the words in my head:
A sudden darkened kiss
Turned on the lights

And none of the kites can set off now
With words unsaid
Hanging from the sandbags,

Because it happened.

And instead they will lift in slow motion
Into this notion
Freer than before.

Even though
Not even we know
Our dreamy toes.
