Summer Soliliquy
Mood:  lyrical

 

The night curves like a snake

breathing, then something forgives all the pain.

The purple hour before nightfall

two hearts

two beats

Midnight, moonless summer nights

clouds swollen like cottonwood.

I feel civilized today

morning coffee does that for me

Sharing the same latitude on my back

while shadows cast a line across my breasts

then the moon dies without its silver lining.

 

D. Claudia Ash
