If the Summer
Oh, if the summerLeafy screensOf the undersides of bushesTook me in like time machinesI'd crawl outRed-faced2006And set my mind to find youInside the library bricksAnd with your date-stamperYou'd brand my handI'm the nervous camperWho would happily choke on the woodsmokeTo lie next to you where you wokeIn the sandOh, what a bummerNot to re-beginNot to have a sunburnMarrying the sum of our skinAnd in some very small roomsWhere we'd sweat through the sheetsI'd curse the hour that it all bloomsAnd just pray to God it repeatsM.A.C. and ElizabethSongtexteSweating through theSheets withA memory and a mythThe balcony of Meredith'sApartmentBlinded my eye sockets to theSight of MarianThe youngest memories burstLike a sunIn the hot black night IFound my contrarianIf any girl is cursedShe's the oneAnd I am the curseI am the worstOh, if the summerLake and poolCease to make my bodyFeel so young and coolFor I've been burned so badlyIn the worst wayBy squandering so sadlyBy being cruelIn that way
