summer is...
ice cream melting,
dripping on my hand,
making it sticky;
pollen sticking to bumblebees,
as they buzz away
from a dandelion;
rain buzzing down
from the heavens
on a late afternoon;
staying out too late
in the hot sunshine,
skin burning too;
burning searing heat,
so humid and damp,
it feels 10 degrees hotter;
damp sweat as it
streams down
the side of my face;
a mix of sand & water
as it streams in between
my wading feet; {{ &gets stuck there }}
thick in the water,
waiting for you to show up,
sitting on the park bench.
