Rousing in a Mendocino Dream
an enticing knelling hounds my slumber . . .

Remember rambling deep in Thistle Gulch
your rustic rope swing in my briny breeze
hayfield zigzag of cavorting paintbrushes
the bruised breakers roiling and foamy
your punchy whiskery profile
against a battered basalt backdrop
random outcrops dot the surf
flaunting lush lacy panties
teal camisole tugs back and forth
cobalt algae glimmers…
