...Away on the mountain
no fun, easy drive-
in great Colorado-
July, 'ninety-five.

Way up was so scary

Slid into the snowdrift his fluff tail in a droop.

The same sky
Passing by  
As I wake to greet
Each new dawn

As green and fresh

Melt on our bodies, make no sound
Only muffled breathing heard
We make love with not a word
