Those Indelible Atmospheres

Photo/Poem 1 Minute 

Those indelible atmospheres:

 crawling naked onto clean sheets
 with a brand new lover;
 
 floating unencumbered, not touching bottom,
 above the salty waves
 before they crash;
 
 sitting in a dark bar,
 the smell of beer soaked wood
 and the sound of pinball exclamations,
 awaiting the what-will-be-better;
 
 the desert at night,
 the back seat of your dad’s car
 parked in the woods,
 that first kiss,
 first toke,
 first time behind the wheel,
 hitting one over the fence,
 an unexpected embrace,
 or hearing
 you did good.
 
 And others,
 that are yours.
