August 1969
Originally uploaded by musicmuse_ca A picture of me and my first boyfriend. I was 17 and he was 15. We were together for 6 weeks during that summer. This shot was taken on a trip we made to Mammoth Cave National Park with the Encampment for Citizenship. I wrote this poem for him right after we parted....
"Salt Wet" by Beth K
salt wet smell & taste it
rain heat seeds of autumn from hot sweaty August days
sunset golden and the cool evening damp;
hair fallen in ringlets around her face,
lying in leaves as soft as moistened moss.
summer song
