A retelling of our first date.
Desert High

My husband is a clever man. For our first date, he waited until dusk, drove me up into the mountains, (holding my hand around every hairpin curve, mind you) and then parked at the summit with a wild grin on his face.
At the peak of the California summer, it was sweltering in the valley. But in the cool netherworld of the sharp peaks around his home, the air was cool and fresh. I had never been on a desert mountain before, and the experience was unforgettable. Our first date. Our first kiss. The first glimpse of our future. As an unabridged account of this fleeting moment in our history, this poem is dear to my heart. Enjoy!
