summer light
drinkable
through
yellow straws
parched grass
gasping
for cups
of yummy
liquid
boys with limp
fringes
awkward
stubble
like barcodes
girls lap it up
thirsty dogs
in mulberry
skirts
cusp of eighteen
walking
with dragonfly wings
sunset colours come
ooze through
gauze
darkness on lips
presents a kiss
