oh
sweaty

"hotest day"
they say

turn the water on very hot
scold
get used to it
melt with it

lose track of time

water pouring through the thick tangled curls
down my body

soaps
smells like some candy-flower
but... Yum..

then changed the water
cold
rushing through those tangled curls...
... river
oh...

turn of the water..
not enough...
What Next?

go out side
look around
late in the day
six o'clock
hmmmm

hardly much sun left
back yard
some streaks
... through the trees

Taugh N "Mountain Pose" a few days ago

Yes.

Mountain Pose
in the sun

for an hour.

switch sides
back and front
stare into the haze of the sun
til all bleaches out
and the eye-lids flicker closed

feel the back start to sweat

naked in the side-yard
Mountain pose
touching toes
look how my body narrows at the center...

water dripping down my back
still caught up in the hair
smells a bit like a wet dog

it's been hot

i need to go jump in a river.
