now why would

now why would

now why would anyone want 

to sleep out on the summer porch

it was so, so out in the open

with nothing to save oneself 

from being on full display

to the dunes the sea oats the ocean

and what if another was to come by

and peer over and see our way

that you were so certain of argument

now why would anyone want

to sleep out on the summer porch

maybe just maybe because 

you would be there too

Ya know when I was a kid my great aunt Nora had a sun porch. Whenever I went to visit I would sleep there. It had a dusty smell that mingled with the night breeze and honeysuckle
