The smell of summer will take you by surprise
- when you're standing by the kitchen window, making coffee
then suddenly you catch the light on the green leaves through the screen
and the breeze ruffles past...
It will remind you of:
summers spent reading fantasy novels by the window,
childhood & lemonade stands & rollerblade wheels over the blacktop
The sound of your best friend's laughter
and mulberry trees - always
It will make you want to speed to the ocean
spent saltwater hours there at the glorious edge of the world
where they are having a carnival.
As the sun climbs higher & light grows wider, and
the air is salt & breeze & chlorophyll with sundrenched
lemon-light that brings out all the colors
Today
