To Lie Upon a Rock

To lie upon a rock
Stomach up
Facing the sun
In summer time temperatures
That somehow invaded February

To lie upon a rock
And feel the cold water lick your toes
And caress the bottoms of hot feet

To lie upon a rock
And stare at the clouds
Balls of white fur
Moving in time to some other orchestral conductor

To lie upon the rock
To listen
To notate
To meditate
To swoon
To sleep
To sigh
To understand

Entwining your scalding skin
And sunglass-ed face
In new warm luscious coolness
And hard smooth/rough embrace

To lie upon a rock
And linger
Living
Once upon a time
Today.
