Mud Bath

Mud Bath

A Poem by Kristi Brooks
"

Hot, Oklahoma summers...teenage lust...I guess that's about all of it.

"

 

 

Mudbath

 

Summer on the plains

with the monotonous sunlight

that seeped into our skin,

relieved only by dry breezes

and an occasional skinny dip

in the shaded river.

We laughed as the mud-red

water washed away the sun-

stains on our bodies and

eased the heat between us.

The only things to see our

twinkling skin were the turtles—

but they never said a word.

Good poem. I get a good feel for an Oklahoma summer and having a fun
private moment. Summer heat and turtles, it also seems
kind of peaceful and exciting at the same time.
I like it.
