Sweat Down Your Spine

Sweat Down Your Spine

By
Nathan Caleb Camerer



April Fools Day was no joke
Three times lucky
Riding a high that has lasted half a decade
Excited isn’t the best word, but it’s the first that comes to mind
Expectations thru the roof based on changes in mood
There’s not a rainy day in this parade
Life is good
The 12th Ring of Hell starts flexing its muscle
Time to submerge with beer in hand
Light the grill and do some flips
I feel like a creep as I watch sweat roll down your spine
The Pulpit applies some pressure
April showers bring May flowers,
But those flowers are starting to wilt
The 12th Ring of Hell is in control
The heat becomes oppressive
Water up to my chin
The sweet smell of a grill
That dirty, creepy feeling as I follow the sweat down your spine
A Yankee comes to visit
The heat is becoming too much
Witness Relocation is not received well
A small distance feels like forever,
But we still do flips in the sun showers
Intimate encounters are getting harder to find though
Tempers are mirroring the temperatures
Fireworks can’t distract from the stabbing in the back
Assumptions start becoming reality
Too many bucket mouths create a flood
A bad decision made worse than it is
Wishing I could follow the sweat down your spine
Feeling love and being in love are two different things
The attention of others is more important than the attention of one
Running back to where it started seems like the right idea,
If only so it’s easier to play with the monkey
Loving to fight and fighting for something are two different things,
But we already knew that
I just want to follow the sweat down your spine
