Summer
October 16, 2009
The tangy scent of chlorine
Hands greasy with sun-tan lotion,
lay down towels on lazy lounge chairs.
The spring and bounce of the diving board
Splash!
Into the cold, crisp water
Icy popsicles, a welcome contrast ,
a small relief from the enveloping hotness
of this summer day.
A race against the sun
as it tries to melt the frozen escape.
The sound of heat
Heavy and thick
Pressing down like a dense fog,
dulling the senses
hushing hearing like a pair of earmuffs
As the day ends, sunburned skin
Rejoices
in the cold smothering of soothing aloe
