One With The Minnesota Pines

Minnesota pines

backdrop 
the day
of black 
and white.
Veins in
muscular arms
wrapped
around a
tiny
1930's waist.
Bows tied
along 
delicate
collarbones
as smiles
speak of
generational
love. 
Sisters navigating 
through 
orange grove
dreams
and lumberjack
hands. 
Looking into
your youth 
soaked eyes
rain of
salt and
mortality 
wet down
the living 
dream.
That 
you lived
in delight
and
are one
with those
Minnesota 
pines.
