Looking Glass Falls

Rinsing over porcelain skin

 

Skin still too pale for the end of summer

 

Washing, cleansing, every curve, every bend

 

Water droplets gather in pools around my unpainted toes

 

Parachuting raindrops released from freshly-trimmed ends

 

Of hair that will soon disappear

 

Naked green eyes clear of disoperation

 

Gaze at the foreignness of this summer waterfall.

 

I part my lips to taste the mountain air

 

Condensed into a life source

 

Icy in July, fresher than filtered

 

A German Shepard gazes at my silhouette

 

Caramel and black, fur bristling with excitement

 

With kind brown eyes

 

Sparked with curiosity,

 

Lapping the water with his pink tongue.
