| That Hot Summer Garden | Contributor |
|
The sounds around were not that important, but the color of unusual flowers. One could think, "What an unusual garden" |

lady with crutches in a garden of roses cussing out her siberian husky in the summer's heat |

|
she wipes her brow and notes the colours of butterflys forgetting her pain, her dog pants |

|
the dog chases the butterfly through the field ,the lady follows with her crutch |
angeroseblue |
|
her legs have been on the mend for a while now and she is feeling good |
induce |
|
she lays her blanket on the ground as the breeze blows her hair, the dog watching the leaves sway back and forth in the wind |
angeroseblue |
|
it's so nice to watch the clouds taking the shapes of hope to come |
induce |
|
clouds showing lovers in a swirling dance,she enters into a daze wishing she had the same |

|
The fragrant Junpers filled the terrace and she tried to dance in her wheelchair. |

|
Her dog pricked it's ears up it could hear something that only dogs can hear. |
induce |
|
The silent approach of a man's cane. when audible, he raised her head and |
butterflyzrfree |
|
saw her dad's weathered and smiling face full of love, he had with him |
induce |
|
The dog barked, the junipers gave more fragrance, as she burst into a smile. |

in his hands a picnic basket ,throwing scraps to the dog who was still chasing the wind |

|
she laughed as the dog beagan to chase it's tail as her father pulled up a seat and gave her a flower |
induce |
|
the dog dizzily falls to the ground as she places the yellow flower in her hair, her father still smiling |
angeroseblue |
|
as he notes her lover scaling the side fence |
induce |
|
" Get water" she instructs father, as the hot sun beats down and there is no shade now. |

|
Her father complies after moving her to a shady spot. She really wanted vodka though. |
induce |
|
the taste for vodka increases so she tells the dog to go get her purse from the hanging vine |
angeroseblue |
|
just a few quick swigs while her father isn't watching, her boy friend has finally made it over the fence, when the dog |
induce |
|
grabs the drink and runs behind a tree,father turning just in time to see her boyfriend steal a kiss |
angeroseblue |
|
he smiles his ancient well smiled smile and sets the dog onto him |
induce |
|
And the dog licks him mercilessley, both ign9ring the pain of the woman. |

|
the dog licks the boyfriends face,as he is hurried away and holds his girlfriends hand,dad's face looking stern now |
angeroseblue |
|
The girlfriend hates the daughter, who is having trouble breathing from the heat, and allergic to the marigolds, so |
butterflyzrfree |
|
she moves away into a more mellow scene just under the comfort of her favourite cyprus tree while |
induce |
|
he carves their initials in the trunk of the tree,the dog lagging behind as father goes inside |
angeroseblue |
|
With his daughter in the wheelchair inside, she rests under the air conditioning, resentful. |
butterflyzrfree |
|
wishing her true feelings could be known to him,that she wants out and wants to take the dog with her |
angeroseblue |
|
As the air conditioning broke, and the beads of sweat began began to pour over them they |
butterflyzrfree |
|
began undressing to their underclothes,making them even hotter |
angeroseblue |
|
And sthe sun beat down on them, sweat pouring, no towels but all they thought about was the lust. |
butterflyzrfree |
|
The dog's bark almost interrupted, the handicap is not an obstacle, the garden bare silently the passion arousing. |

|
Delicate is the day as birds chime thoughts of water reflection dipping in and out of thier bath. |
induce |
|
she takes her camera and takes photos of the event |
angeroseblue |
|
her smile is a promise, she will not forget, this moment |
zhaul |
|
as she recalled her birthday |
induce |
|
And then, all of those birthdays past where she was not in a wheelchair, so, |
butterflyzrfree |
|
she began to cry as her boyfriend kissed her ever so softly |
angeroseblue |
|
Letting his hands wander here, there, everywhere, so that |
butterflyzrfree |
|
beautiful garden became the stage for her free dance, a handicap no longer felt. |
zhaul |
|
And she felt the universe and the stars collide inside her head in a beautiful revalation when |
butterflyzrfree |
|
he opened his heart to her and revealed what she had know all alone that he |
angeroseblue |
|
Was the one crippled, having had major heart surgury, and that scar, on his chest, which gave it away, then, with a tear, she said |
butterflyzrfree |
|
"I have no idea what is going on.", with that the |
induce |
|
lovely fragrance of the gardens coupled with the kindness and anger surrounding her. |

|
The approaching afternoon tested the birds as they began to look for perches to roost. |
induce |
|
In the heat, they lost interest, but then clouds gathered, rain! And a lot of it! The songbirds searched for shelter. |
butterflyzrfree |
|
the dance of love began, raindrops rendezvoused with leaves, the mating of life |
zhaul |
|
as the entrance to here cocoon became cozy with two |
angeroseblue |
|
last strands of light flickering as fireflies began to whisper in her dog's ear |
induce |
|
Who knows what they would say? But the annoying sound and confusing lights angered the dog, who |
butterflyzrfree |
|
barked and ran under the front room couch in his anger |
angeroseblue |
|
I was an awkward moment, broken silence, hands recalling caresses |
zhaul |
|
caresses that opened the senses to much more,the ability to let go once more as in past times |
angeroseblue |
|
Memories that exalt the skin, memories that caress a new day and a goodbye |
zhaul |
|
Will envelop them all with love, peace, calm and inner strength. |
butterflyzrfree |
|
there is no other way to live but through all that is given |
angeroseblue |
|
the lady mused. Looking down at her dog she wondered what wisdom he held in his doggie mind. |
