Tiny Summer Poem

It was in heady summer heat,

sun tracing lines

along limb lengths,

melting inhibitions,

slowing inner clocks,

sticking us together,

pinning us to dewy grass,

while a grasshopper clicked nearby

with polite nonchalance.

A memory of enrapture,

a capture of past,

present,

and forever.
