Mansion

Randomly chosen, just for the feel. Haven't really edited this one since I wrote it, which is rare for me. Hope you like the piece. C.A. 

Mansion

We broke in.
It was all
about the weather.
Seven times,
the scattered sky
spoke through
heat lightning,
and new clouds
coughed above us,
mostly hanging
in patchy rows.
Behind us, the stone
mansion. Someday,
I'll put up an offer.
We swam close
in the strange,
perfect pool;
we were the ice
on the dog day.
Let’s get dressed.
Rain’s comin’.

On the deck,
you checked
my muscle.
