Hot Springs Pool - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

another absolutely great place to be:
Hot Springs Pool - Glenwood Springs, Colorado
We went swimming at night in February one year. I was worried I'd get cold when I got out of the pool, but no, the body absorbs so much heat, it actually steams with relief. The smaller, hotter pool has stairs along the sides for exposing more skin. Just as I got really overheated and thought I couldn't take any more hot steamy water covering my body, it started to snow. Little crystals of frozen sizzling as they hit my skin...wow!!!

Lakota-words

unison writing

honey wind riders dipped in ice cream
topped with strawberries pretty red beams
licking by friends brought summer delight
memories warm for cool lonely nights

fast nights blurred past live passions of day
friends trading love felt not of the play
never knew then that ever they'd part
smiles licked their lips hid holes in their hearts
