Sweatshine

Who could decry humidity on hardwood floors

The delight my footsteps find in it 

Reminding me the date square on the calendar grants invitation

To bear my skin today

Shoulders and toes, midriff maybe 

I laugh and pirouette at the thought 

Each degree of my foot’s spin lingers longer

Home on hardwood floors

      • Many, many years ago I heard somebody read the poem “Socks”by Pablo Neruda and I’ve always remembered that poem whenever I pull on a warm pair of socks (in the cooler weather, at least). Maybe its the tactile sense that stimulates the memory…or something else, but I appreciate my hardwood floor now in kinda the same way! Thanks!
