i closed my eyes last night
forgot love
forgot pain
but remembered to take off my shoes,
walked to the edge of the world
in the wetness of the grass
that grows behind my white house
in front of the ocean
i wished my life last night
forgot love
forgot pain
but remembered
to undo my pants
took those off too...
danced in the rain
that tinted my tears
that burnt my face
in front of the ocean
i caught a firefly last night
forgot love
forgot pain
but remembered
to slip out of my shirt
rolled in the dirt
between the cucumbers
that grow in my garden
in front of the ocean
i inhaled smoke last night
forgot love
forgot pain
but remembered
to unhook my bra
and slide off my panties
screamed at the moon
that was laughing at my body
and ran naked
all the way home

i am a nudist...but only indoors!

i never call a poem "nice" or such,
for that would not be saying much

This poem is so RIGHT. Such a wonderful feeling it describes, one which I'm sure too few people know but should experience. I wish we were neighbors.

If only everyone had the chance for this experience! It's such a beautiful image! I look forward to reading more of your work!

Wish we lived next door, then we could run wild together! I least I know there are some people in the world that still believe in nuedity!

Personally, I'm glad we aren't neighbours (at least I don't think we are). With this poem you have crossed the boundary from proper to improper in an interesting way. Makes me remember when I ran naked in a park in Vancouver, a long time ago. Maybe I can get a poem out of that. Thanks.

Well you know what daniel2... after checking your profile... we could easily be neibours...Sorry to disapoint you but take comfort in the fact that I am very comfortable with my body but I have not yet become an exhibitionniste!!! Thanks for the comments... It was written as a sort of metaphore...not only as the nakedness of the body but of the soul also...

I remember a naked guy that ran in a Park in Vancover... kidding!!!
