Love at First Right

Man walks (glides—steps singing
softly beauty’s verse) and
in a second makes my all.
I see beyond the air,
a crown of stars around
his head and dawn
blooming in the heart,
while cosmos dapple
naked knuckles.
I don’t know this prince,
but I want to
be his kingdom.
His skin must feel
like
spring after winter.
