Summer

her blonde hair smelled like wet grass and rosemary
and it hung long and low
sweeping the gap between T shirt and blue jeans
this glimpse of skin was sweet and brown
where fingers could dance and linger
in her kiss there was the flavor of peppermint
and the bumpy surface of chewing gum
her eyes were soft and deep like summer sky
there was so much to admire
from her lean bug-bitten legs
to the arch of her stained feet
and back to the freckles on her red nose
she had the spirit of fireworks on the fourth
and laughter like the gulls
she could make a boy feel free and scared
she'd catch a breath and hold it
if only you could hold onto Summer forever
