eyelashes forgetting the burn of mascara

accidental lakewater mouthfull

stacks and piles and mountains of hardcovered dreams

half unwoven braid flirting with daisies

bonfire soaked sweatshirts

pulse speeding only for motorboat roar, for steel guitar anthem

sugared lemon dancing over sunburnt lips

searing spotlights swapped for gentle starlit glare

sand chipping away at fuschia nails

and other forms of shedding yesterday
