Breathe deeply
taste the coolness
of the air
chin tilts upward
skin tingles
nipples reach
toward the sun
skin exposed, hairs lifted
tongue slides outward
dampness on your lips
the mind drops down
through your body
cold stone
beneath your feet
moist soft soil
between your toes
it fills your senses
grasses brush against
the bareness of your legs
a reminder
you are alive.
J. Belle
