feeling
his stare
as I sleep 

barefoot
across
the freshly cut grass

buttermilk pancakes
sweet syrup
stuck to my lips 

abandoned house
creaky floorboard
shows its age

tickling water beneath my feet
scent of cherry blossoms
spring breeze

fireworks in July
the vibrant colors
explode in the distance

hands over my eyes
the perfume
gives her away

weekend with vapor rub
muffled party
keeps me awake

sticky kisses
the scent of bubblegum
lingering on lips

smack in the
catcher's mitt
scent of stadium beer

medieval dinner
dry chicken in my mouth
with a view of poor actors

warm sun
plays with my skin
and my ice water
