Summers Gone by In Luggage |

Summer went by languid With my thoughts Stuffed in a tiny suitcase Fitted with brown leather And tiny golden clasps With one word engravings on each That read “Love” and “Fierce”. And I tear myself from the Sticky sweet of my reverie Only to be reminded of the night You said let’s go for a swim. And how I looked over at the moonlight Casting ghosts on the glass Of the black lake and I saw your Silhouette cast aside synthetic skin. With my— Pulse quickening Heart pounding Mouth dry Hands sweating Eyes burning Knees trembling Tongue tumbling Gut aching I watched your bare shoulders Caught in the moonbeams Part the dark glass. Your lips froze my heart With the words “Love Fierce” And I moved fervently to you with My muscles tense I stopped and I lifted Your polka dot dress laying Like a broken willow on the banks And all I could do was hesitate and Stuff your words in my suitcase. |
