The Mag - 22 June 2014 -Silly How Some Things Flow.


"Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly." Pablo Neruda




Sweet Summer 1912 John William Waterhouse

There always is, two sides, to every story.



THE MAG


Just What is Summer all about Alfie?

She Said and He Replied

(Note- We can see her, but he's just outside of the painting.  Truly.)


She begins, 
Barefoot I lounge 
upon this lazy leisure day.

Won't you stay
and join me 
under this sweltering sun?


He relies,
One half of me- 
is trying to fix this mower
But the other half of me 
craves a cold beer.

She says,
Can you see I'm half shading my sinfulness
while the other side of me is exposing
a blistering, burning rage growing inside of me?


He replies,
Stupid mower!
And what is that sticky 
taste of something salty 
on this beer can?  What's that about?


She says,
Ah yes,
I too taste a sticky 
presence of salty 
tears with your absence
as I quiver here in sizzling desire 
all by myself.  Again.


He replies,
Doesn't matter, dumb dead mower.  I quit.  After this beer 
let's go golfing, then steaks on the grill. 
So grab your clubs.

She says, What more can a girl say
upon this sun-sational day 
I'll just dream-
About the sticky sultry 
touch I believed you'd bestow.
You win.
Let's go chase some balls.
