I Wish Summer in November
___________________________

I love the endless heat,
the gradual loss of clothing as one beached morning becomes an afternoon.

I love the smell of an ice cream cone at its end.

I love how the grass sticks to my dewy skin
in places where a beach towel always remains too short
when layed upon in backyard sun.
Either face or feet always left to dangle with the bugs.

The sun squints my eyes and forces a smile which,
although involutary,
surely signs content.

I smile across the yard at you,
you who prefers the shade of our young maple tree
and a molded plastic chair.
I know this moment I imagined
for our future
will be one of many
flashing by at my end,
as reflection of past
or perhaps still as vision, as dream.

I will smile at my end when it dazzles again,
as I smile now
(in the cold of November)
because I love you
and it brings me warmth
to think of love and sun.
