for
the Naked Nurse
~~~~~~~~~~

South

Drawl me a picture
of slow moving things
lazy afternoons
too humid for much
but closing the curtains
and staying inside
remind me of other times
their richness and sweetness
brought to life on your lips
share with me a taste
I could never recreate
on my own
tell me a secret I’ll swear to keep
show me your world
as only you can
draw my mind
south
