Summer is soft and sticky. An ode to the ocean, Where you drowned at 13 And now I skim the surface Pretending I'm not treading Your grave. Girls & boys play. I can hear boat engines Under the water and they're Humming your name. I'm glad the salt stings, I wish the tide could grab, But the sun, Oh the villain if there was one, Warms me too much To stay long
