Laughing in the Rain

No one’s timetable
governed our steps
up with the first light
long before the sun rose
over the slate blue ocean

Wandering between palm and bright blooms
in our own world
together

Watching the hummingbirds
high in the branches above us
camera catching the moments

Suddenly darkening clouds
to snap the equatorial heat
Laughing in the rain
without care or keeper

We were soaked
and in love
alone together
on the island
