Anderson Cmliv Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

It was a hot summer's day in New York
And the air conditioning was on the fritz
The day from the beginning was too hot to do anything
So, we laid on the unmade bed
With the sheets that were soaking wet with our sweat
As the sun brighten withevery height
The heat was starting to get unbearable
So, we took off everything except our civvies
But still the wetness of our bodies couldn't even our bodies
You laid there as I got a couple of Cokes
When I arrived, you were asleep
I sat down with my sketchbook
And began to draw you laying there
I quietly sketched the contours of yr face
And thought how it is that this beautiful man
That I love, loves me
When I finished, the cracked of thunder sounded
And the lightening shined over yr face
You woke up
And we made love as the rain cooled the night
The air conditioning was repaired finally
