Saturday Summer

Today......

Small sparkling bubbles laden my drink,

ice cubes swimming in a pool of brown

as I try to keep the heat outside

from rising above the warmth inside

from the thought of laying on a sandy beach

next to a river

watching you emerge from the depths of the unknown

and planting a salty meal on my lips,

letting the sparkling droplets

grace my glistening skin

as the warmth finally reaches my head

and I am back on my porch

watching the world pass by

in a swirl of slow motion

of hellos and goodbyes

and lawnmowers and bikes

and cars filled with treasures

from another man’s garage

and my motives in a fog

brought on by small sparkling bubbles

and a pool of icy brown

mixed with a secret warm liquid

I slipped in when no was looking.
