Screen Saver

Hundreds of thousands of pictures
Girls, women, smiling; the sun on their faces.
Eating ice cream, wearing high heels or sandals
Basking in their youth.
Together, inseparable.
Tattooed skin kissed by the breeze,
Sweeping their careless hair off their perfect brows.
And here we sit, in the dark, with computer screens
Lighting our faces, turning us pale blue.
We are glimmering faeries here in the shadow.
I am blessed to be in the dark with you.
