Ideals drown Worries (Sonnet) by skaskowski
Stuck in a sticky Summer Saturday
I can see how our chests press together,
Sheets wet with sweat, in my bed, one lone ray
of sunlight seeps through the printed feather
curtains. One more go, then maybe a bath,
the cool water cleaning our legs of love.
Never before have we left just like that,
There's always at least two more times in us.
Right now I feel the weather worsening,
And I cannot bear to prepare my heart
To just defensively rehearse the scene
If instead we see ourselves torn apart.
You to Florida and I still right here,
My hands always shake when I taste that fear.
