Rope Aloft

[cafeboy]

The rope rests aloft
our naked bodies
and fish take shade

Hi cafeboy,
It's been a while, no?
This is a perfect summer piece.
Yes, perfect.

As said by Jim, this is a perfect summer piece. It is interesting to note how these aspects of life are slowwly getting outdated with days passing by. Still they will remain as fond memories for all who have experienced it. Great work

Spot on summer vibe, but I am concerned about the rope

[cafeboy]

Obsidianmule, I'm compelled to confirm that the rope is certainly a creek swing. Though I have to be honest I was thinking about lynchings explicitly.
Often when I'm experiencing peace and being LGBT my mind can't help respect the history of violence. Orlando has been haunting me recently and I can't help but sympathize with African Americans. It's a crazy world out there, but in this moment I'm both in awe and sheltered.

such precision and elegance-well done

Startling, chilling poem that with a few carefully chosen words paints a grotesque picture. Congratulations for TPS recognition.
