dog days of summer

gathering peaches like velvet. juice drips down my chin and makes my fingers sticky

i wake up early. the sun warms my sheets, the aroma of pancakes drifting in from the kitchen

reading books with thick brown-paper pages

chlorine pool-water is in my hair, soaked in my skin. cold showers. sea-foam.

the drowzy hum of crickets in the withering grass.
cold chicken and white lace dresses.

my skin turns brown as nutshells. i sleep in my undies, the fan whirling above me in the moonlight.

incense smoke, like thick cinnamon and dried-petals, curls and hangs in the air.

MELLOW SUMMER, WARMING THE CAVITIES OF MY HEART

summer is finally here!

mum and i bought the first bottle of iced tea yesterday, so now it is official, huzzah.

what are your plans for summer? (or is it winter where you are? if so, what are your plans for winter?)
