sunburn
Reach out And grab the sun Glowing red between your knuckles Sending summer down your spine When monsoons melted avenues into rivers And paper boats were sent off to resist the rainstorm Slowly slurring into a slush of soggy paper Down at the end of the avenue Where sweetness melts with time And the days are endless Staining your skin with marks of beauty Soaked with spf On the days when the thunder subsided And the sun Touched down on the sidewalk Burning your bare feet until numb Carelessly still stepping Oh endless days Reach out And grab the sun
