impression

there is an unimpressive field in tulsa
in which we stood
after quiet words
and acceptance.
i will remember you as you were
in that moment, in my arms
beneath the moon -
standing whole and alive
and in no danger from
landmines.
i knew to appeal to your logic,
i knew to show you the tire tracks that
led us together,
that led us to the middle of an
unimpressive field
in tulsa.
