Written on one of those hot days when all you can do is sit and melt slowly one drop of sweat at a time and your muscles turn liquid in the heat and you can't even summon the energy to go get a cold drink, no matter how desperately you want one.
Summer
the slow limpid heat
of a summer's day
slides past me
a river of lethe
slow somnolent drifting
down the long lane
of life's memories
the river unwinds
memory unfolds
the images of summer
flow past
bright water
red ball
swim suited beauties
a child's laughter
the burn of the sun
on the back of my neck
aaah sweet summer
if only life
never knew winter
but then would the sun
be as warm?
