SUMMER IN SPASM

entangled between the worn and cracked ropes of the boat

we sway together on the troubled surface of the water

a seagull cackles from the rock as it watches our struggle

with the strong currents of desire

while summer in a spasm

goes downstairs into the sea

we restrain ourselves from burning

like a vine on a neglected and overgrown vineyard

and while summer

into the water, along with the sun,

down the slippery seaweed, it leaves

we still restrain ourselves from wet piers

into each other

we slip
