Mountain passes

you told me that you loved me on october 29 2005
it was a Friday and you smelled like Marlboros and Heineken
chipping golf balls of the backyard mountain passes
overlooking the gold course you grew up on

overlooking that I was terrified
that I was seventeen
I loved you too
But the smell of Marlboros and Heineken made me freeze

Enveloped in your figure, 14 inches taller than mine
But we were the same size from an airplane window
Places remote would never know
How you smelled

But in a microscope they would see
That we both broke down into molecular beings
That we could combine into a cellular mass
Of friction and feelings and chemistry

I love you too.
