Beached

The rowdy party racks the August Camp. Beer flows in one end and out the other. The tin siding vibrates with rock. The sound rolls “over Beethoven” in a corrugated groove. The heat baked, potato-skinned, hormone riddled teens gyrate. Lip-locked; they rub bright young bodies across a terrain of Appalachians and delta’s. Sweat runs like rain between dream Dean eyes and Marilynesque breasts, luscious peaches, down curves a roller coaster would envy with the passenger having no less enjoyment for the ride. Paired they leap into the black flies night. Paired to the hot rods roaring pistons pride. Paired they race into the ice-cooler chill of Megunticook Lake. Paired and naked, clothing tossed in wheel wells; panties antennae wire glories Relief floods their sensuous slide lapping the beach of desire

This is an exquisite poem of passion and desire, one that speaks to the senses of something more profound ... the human spirit to recapture an Eden invisible in the visible of joy. Peace and love

Engaging write, Deborah! I particularly enjoy the charging pace of your concluding stanza, ebbing and flowing like a lapping lake. Warm regards, John.
