1 Minute Old

Eveningless

Summer night

The day just runs into

The wind

And do you care

Where you were

When it rained

No

Because in summer,

Everything is an element—

Not just the weather,

But your skin,

Your lover’s skin,

Your lover.

You can’t get caught in the rain,

You can only be in it.

 

Run, run it

Clap hands

Big sounds

What are you

going to do now?

  1. ah, so good. That is how I feel also these days. Last night I sat on my porch with some friends and we taught each other how to roll cigarettes with style (it is a prerequisite to becoming an adult woman). I was thinking of you, as always. Up the summer!

  2. Remember the Amtrak?--we rolled cigarettes and watched the sun set over the slight river...
