Nights of Grass Mattresses

She lied facing the stars,
the grass formed her mattress.
The expanse of the sky
opened above her in navy.
And, she let out a slow sigh
like the soft breezes of summer.

He turned to her and smiled
with a crooked grin like the moon,
his voice filled with breathless wonder.
"Oh, dear summer girl, now, I'll
remember your sounds in
the blazing sights of the stars."
