State Park
set the scene
guitar
blanket
beer
your striking
good looks
helped, but
you were too
fast, hard to
resist
we made up
words to sing
you strummed
your guitar -
I shook a
blanket free
of bugs.
all you really
wanted -
sex
sex
sex
I began to
create my best
song -
you wanted bare
legs on the
blanket -
beneath the
evergreen -
red sharp needles
fell -
pins and needles
pinching skin.
laid
the guitar
on the grass -
skin scratched,
bruised in the park.
