PALM SPRINGS

we rode bikes            laughing

   the sun         pedals woof          wild

index fingers             pointed mountaintops
    hiking         heat       in flip  -  flops

    canopy games            spilled blue      ink
blueing                       the vodka pool

on your knees            you told me
it was too early          you like to be teased

That was          
                                                all we had.
