Berkeley Marina

I feel enveloped in a warm haze
of golden sunlight
your hands
warming my belly
or stroking my face

When I squint through my eyelids
the sun peeps out of the mist
glinting off the water
where a duck and a seagull
are equally suspended
between heaven and earth
like in a Japanese screen painting
where there is no horizon
or as though God never separated
the seas and the skies
before making birds

And I don't know
how to capture in words
the warm feeling in my heart
as if we were sitting in a hotspring
or the smile that spreads across my face
imagining it

or the tears in my eyes
or the feeling of being seen

Maybe all I needed was love
