A moment more, mi amor,
to enjoy an exposed evening;
bask in a private reading.
Fertilize my carmine mind
with your beautiful behind,
hair like wandering weeds
that need gentle teasing.
Through the grassy hedge,
I stand daydreaming.
I am the chromatic gardener
spreading swabs
tinted seedlings
across her fertile
far end fields.
Oh, the warm feeling!
To be the tawny mule
in such a rich pasture,
the ultimate, high-chroma
happily ever after.

I liked this! Nice assonance between “more” and “amor” in two different languages.

Thank you. Yes, in writing, perhaps. In real life, well, let’s just say I’m still working on finding that serenity.

Sunbathing. I began to appreciate it more and more in Munich. The idea of sunlight and no barriers. Ah, a form of freedom.

It is right around the corner, but everything has already gone all mellow. I just don’t have that summer feeling. Maybe because I haven’t seen any fireflies. There must be joy hiding all around me, but I don’t seem to see it right now…
