"Belize," by Sean Mi"er
Ice Cream machines never stop humming But the summer will never fade
seagulls cease scavenging
and the Ferris wheel makes its final rotation Whenever a sultry wind brushes my cheek
But none of this bothers me
Your butterscotch eyes I will be with you again, Sand scraping
your sandy blonde hair
and the way your nose crinkles up like our legs, Blanket pulled over our noses
a taffy wrapper The sky a million fireflies ignited .d
when you laugh, that slices
me open like a watermelon chopped in two Your last lingering embrace forever o~ my mm
Summer blurs: beach blankets, sweet
and the way you said goodbye, not with words
whispers, and sun burnt kisses.
but with your eyes
But now six states later
us and the air grows cold -Whitney Waters
I am left with only letters to fuel me
