To Touch a Summer Breeze

I  know not
the why or where
of when
of if she’s ever
coming back again

I sit
in sultry memory
passing kisses
rippling the sea

lifting from
humidity’s wet grasp
hard turgid thrill
of lovers
touching
as they pass

riffling the page-less
timeless sand
artists
of a coolly
passing hand

wispy breaths
of sunset
yets
