Visovac

The river spilled its argent hymn,

each stone cloaked in mossed reverence;

wind braided with wild thyme

swept the hush of our bivouac.

Petals clung to his shoulder

where the sun’s caress failed;

his breath, an errant breeze

that found its way to my throat.

We spoke no vows—

only the glances of the cedar,

only the hush of the fern,

witnessed our trespass.
