That Latent Summer

A strum of guitar in the rain 
falling softly near my shame 
all those kisses in the past 
a memory  a thought an everlast 
no I didn't  no I couldn't but I did  
you knew I couldn't   keep it hid ? 

laughter peels hearts a stripped 
eyes of color butter whipped
nicely thoughts burnt cigarettes 
you and I reading,  "The Gazette "
yes I folded like an origami cloth  
as I clung to the flame like a moth,  
 
on the veranda you a newcomer  
on that hot and lonely latent summer .
