I love her bare legs from a distance. When she's standing by a pool. When she's facing the water, thinking. Her legs are white as watermelon rind, veined blue from cold. There's that 'H' shape behind her knees. The H trembles softly with the swimming-water cold.

About This Quote

When she's standing by a pool. When she's facing the water, thinking. Her legs are white as watermelon rind, veined blue from cold. There's that 'H' shape behind her knees.

The H trembles softly with the swimming-water cold. The H is made by the running water on bare skin. She stands there, close to the water, feeling its coolness over her skin.

And I love her legs. I love the way they remind me of summertime, of all those sweltering days when you lie in the grass and feel the sun on your face. I love the way she looks at me when she talks about what she wants to do with her life.

In all this, I love her legs.
