Supine (Poetry)

(Selected Winner of Oak Magazine's Vi Olsen Memorial Contest - 2007)

Supine

Rays spill from behind drained thunderclouds

Like golden cones slicing a blue dome,
The afternoon sun bathes my blood and lightens my load

Cradled in the web of a hammock,
I retire my thoughts on nature’s hook and shed the day’s responsibilities

July dreams soon sweep over me like a welcoming breeze,
Carrying me afar,
To a land where these summer moments never perish
