SUMMER NAPS
I wish I could bring
one of my good summers
out for you;
then the prickly-sour
sweats waking me
each July morning
might not keep you
awake in the humid nights
watching me sleep.
I wish I could cough up
my will to live
on the days I catch
looks of fear and loss
when I close my eyes
in the afternoon heat.
