Summer was
warm, fluid breezes on tan skin,
laughter, and water, and blue sky
over us.
Summer was
fierce sun
blocked by shades,
heating half-dressed flesh
to perfection.
Summer was
grilled burgers & brats,
and a cold Coke,
with potato salad
on the side.
Summer was
soft evening air,
with the first stirring of mosquitoes
as we slapped and scratched,
and wandered home in the dark,
.....satisfied.
