Cantaloupe

Wake up late and dive right into the water

Then spend a while drifting in and out of sleep

Without the urge to give everything a meaning

Never even know what time it is

The smell of sunscreen and ripe cantaloupe

The kind of weather that softens the muscles

Hold on to this languorous feeling

Slowly breathe it in

Delectable hours

Of so little motion

Emotional stillness

Just sunlight to worship

You don’t even like cantaloupe

But oh the days when cantaloupe’s in season

Remember this languorous feeling

Slowly breathe it in

Delectable hours

Of so little motion

Emotional stillness

Just sunlight to worship
