Abduction

Saw her in the first

of light. Glint

in her eye and twist

of one shoulder

called with a smile

come on be brave--.

we danced that night.

And the weekend

that followed

swept us across my

favourite lake in

a windy canoe

camped beneath stars

in a canvas sky

dark and glittering

like fireflies outside

our tent—

I share a trampoline

of words

the pounding of your

heart demands

an audience of love.
