Summer Nights

 

  SUMMER NIGHTS


Late at night we lie
the single sheet kicked back;
recalling the events of the day
while exchanging backrubs.

Night air beginning to cool;
frogs attempting
to drown the locus
with incessant crooning.

Planning for the morrow
anxieties melt;
drifting in sleepy contentment
or lingering entwined.

The fan hums
desires rest, satisfied;
No ears left to hear
all is tranquil.
