In the Summertime
I get awful, awful mash-up high
and stumble back to your house
in the Summertime
when it's pissing it down sheets outside
I make a call, at three am, to you.
I don't mind that it's
not a two way street,
reciprocated at all.
I like knowing you
aren't far, you know?
I like that you're breathing,
that you're sleeping
alone.
I don't mind now,
if I stumble back home,
throw the keys on the table,
strip of the wet clothes that hinder me.
I'll turn off the phone,
put slippers on
and run a steaming bath.
I don't mind, no, really, I don't mind
that my head is sinking, in the filth of you,
and that my hair is swirling through the wet air.
I'm not scared,
I'm not scared,
I'm petrified,
falling evermore for your
dark, brown eyes.

The title has always appealed to me
post the Tarkovsky masterpiece.
This looks stripped and upon careful
examination it has all the elements
one usually finds here.
Really liked
'I don't mind that it's
not a two way street,
reciprocated at all.'
in the context here.
and
'I like knowing you
aren't far, you know?
I like that you're breathing,
that you're sleeping
alone.'
'that my head is sinking, in the filth of you,
and that my hair is swirling through the wet air.'
A vivid and powerful image.
