Loud speaker crackled carnival music,
sea bird calls, and salty sweet tang
on the air
bright pink and white candy shop
sign, sun behind
a thin layer of cloud-cover over
sky blue and a
drunken arm threaded through
mine, sun-warmed toes
and glittering salt water brushed
book pages fluttering with the
sea breeze
brined lips and watered
down iced coffee in
sand dusted sweating plastic cup
pervasive dueling feelings of damp
and dry, the tickling
barely concious urge to cry
at the horizon line
pearl topped waves cresting
heat shimmer distorted
people dotted down the way
the reminder of what sunshine smells like
and the sound of Summer
