the warm embrace

lay down
in a pile
of wet
leaves
enveloped
by the
morning
dew
letting it
secret its
juices all
around &
inhale the
deep
aroma
making
the spine
tingle---
rest all
the muscles
& close
the eyes
breathing
in, while
the ideas
flood the
mind &
the senses
adhere to
all that is
around, a
flush of
experience
dawning
just for you.

(before long the insects begin to find their way to you, climbing up the back of your bare feet, skittering along the length of your legs, dragging with them all the bacteria, all the disease that they might not even know they have, bringing them to the areas of your body where the most warmth is produced---your crotch, your armpits---making their way inevitably to the orifices that exist, so that they may burrow inside you to develop further, creating parasites & festering within.)

but,
oh yes,
the clouds are
breaking up
&
el sol está saliendo.
