SUMMER
by David Radavich
How can sweat be
the ultimate aphrodisiac?
It rolls off your skin
like pearls, taking
my eyes where
they long to go
into the water
where you swim
like a dolphin
and the smooth moves
make the summer
heat hotter
and I feel a rise
in my body
like a high wave
wanting to mount
and sweep you
into the deep blue.
