William James
winter 2005
untitled
Walking hand in hand
through the summer rain,
drenched cotton sculpted
your insolent breasts.
Wrestling sodden levi's
in that sweltering hayloft
your crippling smile
hammerlocked my tongue. |

Donna
lives next door--
we are seven, summer-brown.
Under the peonies, we giggle and squirm,
a living pink cage, two fluttering birds;
while outside, young peaches, beginning to swell
and the delicate folds of a budding, pale rose.
One vigorous twig aches for the sky,
while cherry-stones roll in the petal-flecked dust.
Our clenched lips brush, her open eyes shine,
we've discovered an itch
that we cannot yet scratch.
