Drinking Summer
A soda spark to carbonate the lips
with lime sorbet in sweating silver bowls
Upon the breeze the warmth of humid mint
And suddenly the story has been told
The summer dragging feet way past the tide
with scorch of skin and wavy air in roads
Mirages for the asphalt to confide
which never knew the proper way to sleep
the summer sun to molten metal drive
And so the pool awaits the cooling leap
And so the water pressure pillows ears
too blue to swallow down in eyes to keep
afloat with all the gossip that it hears
The languid stretch of laying in the sun
allowing winter thoughts to fall arrears
And suddenly the moment has begun
with soda sparks and frozen lemonade
to grin and sip the summer hard and long~
