Untitled - June 25, 2005

It's a strange semblance
of being too hot to handle
yet ice cold in excitement
that casts the day
in sheer dichotomy
wanting to celebrate
all that had been gained
yet knowing
that it was not enough.

It's the blazing heat
that soaks into the flesh
while the unending waves
of frozen sensation
careen wildly
against the fingertips.

The absolute wall of sound
flows and ebbs
as the river of bodies
shimmers in the heat.
