Zev Torres | Rebirth for Two

Rebirth for Two

Dressed myself in mismatched greens,

Sage trousers, emerald shirt, hunter jacket,

Not by design, not to make a statement,

But because the room was dark.

Didn’t want to disturb you

With the harsh light.

Could not have chosen more appropriate attire

For a starlit stroll along the banks of the rejuvenating sea

While considering the likelihood 

Of our own nascent renewal.
