~On the Rocker~
In the rural silence of a hot Texan summer
Outside I rest, tapping my foot as my hats tipped forward
Rocking
On my rocker
Stifling dry heat forces my eyes closed
And I am carried instantly to that moment in the midday
Where I held her
Sweat dripping off my lip brings me closer to her…
To her blissful forever
Salty sweetness
Ocean kisses floating in the mist
How her creamy brown skin glistened under the intense August rays
Holding my eyes captive
Taunting them
Silently
As if begging me to reveal what lies under those thin layers of summer linen
Snap! goes the bed sheets I’ hung on the line
Aware as they sway to a sudden welcome breeze
And now again
As I always was
I am sitting quietly
Rocking
On my rocker.
