The ones who kept away
Chlorine saturated our skin;
mine so sunned, so suited to it's smell,
yours a pasty boy's - seashell
My summer freckles, brown, at play
your eyes were pennies in the day - they drank my swimming sunlit form
you never moved
I was too warm
Left-sided smirks - bright afternoons
popping chilled cans in the cool of your room - almost too charged to stand
caffeine boosted closeness - we'd never land
although you played stoic,
there was sweat on your hands
Your heartbeat betrayed you, you cool boy, you had heat too;
the racing pace of the beating truth,
and your expressions produced
from silent eyes - erupting loose
I was a nestling, restless -
