I am beloved of Summer. The sea's warm fingers Soft-strokes and lifts me Wants me for its own And then, above, the sky: Though aloof and caught in Glassy altitudes Makes me glow and sweat The mighty sun stings As it penetrates.
And then, spent with exertion We roll together The sea, the shrinking sun in sky And I Heavy with expectant tension Expand, naked on the sand To bring forth August's dream... A smile, contractions of tranquility A life more serene.
