A Week of Summer
Monday
The golden light paints upon the first hour a gaze. Sunset’s beginning days.
Tuesday
Aromas of life!
In its prime, fully blooming, June roses smell of wine.
Wednesday
The night hour’s approach,
the daylight seems to reproach. 9 o’clock’s golden hour.
Thursday
Warmth burns my brown hair. Heated drops of sweat on my cheek, stifling fire fury.
Friday
Mid-year birthdays taste of caramel and sea salt. Tangy, candied warmth!
Saturday
Its whistles sound sweet. Ruthless storms come battering, shredding palm tree leaves.
Sunday
Sunday blues of August,
hues in a turquoise-green tint. Gradients of youth.
