Summer and our
skin is dry
Scrubbed by lake
water
Relentless and
cool
The days are lazy
and long
We sweat and burn
And shed our
winter skin
Under the sliding
sun
That is glitter on
the water
And burns the
mountains
And the rocks red
As it finally
sinks
Night comes
The mosquitoes
sing
The fish jump
The Milky Way
shines
On our skin and
mine glows
In defiance
While his is dark
and subtle
As the night
Drawn to our sweet
blood
The mosquitoes hum
Midnight in the
desert
Apache Lake
There is only the
outlines
Of the cacti, all
slopes and curves
And the rocks and
hills,
Sharp and fierce
angles
And our bodies
A combination of
both as we
Wrap ourselves in
this place.
