Sunshine Bunny


88 degrees

Rubbed on sunscreen

Slid on swimming suit and

Headed to Fort Greene Park

                 *

Found a spot sun center

Laid out towel peeled off skirt

The birds chirped and squirrels played

Spring mute summer anticipating

                   *

The sun kissed my feet

Caressed my calves and thighs

A welcoming touch; I was held

Attentive under heat's submission

                      *
Cirrus clouds play dancer above.

A puff of cumulus clouds as

Its spectator. In the east a helicopter

Spins in the distance

                 *

Realize I am alone but not lonely

Realize desire to control obsessions

Excepts

For Love

               *

Wind blows in whipping

a smile.

Is this happiness? Trees are

Intricate but simple like me.

                *

Another obsession: Happiness.

Happiness, not contentment. No man

Should ever be content. Aware is

realistic and happiness.

                  *
Fell asleep. Dreamt eclectic dreams

And the unimaginable all while awake

The sun embracing, holding radiating

Enriching.

                   *

Today is one for the records.
