Keeping the Faith

only summer's return 
lets me keep the faith in the day,
southern winds at my back
pushing the bicycle forward,
dappled clouds of content at noon
merge into rains that brew
storms of whispering cloudbursts
that wet the ground and vanish like that.

i keep the faith with the sun returning.


remove socks and sneakers

to tan feet up to the ankles.
outstretch legs into the sunshine.
remove a t-shirt to brown my chest.
horizontally lay to flatten breasts
letting light reach under cleavage.
when riding up the Han River feeling dandy
all is well in Arabian Nights.
moonshine shines on Black Oak Arkansas
as faith is kept like in years before.
faith will be kept in summer evermore.
