giant sand castle
takes the beach
get back!

beach day
the speckled salt
I carry with me

freshly made
baking in the sun
mud pies

concrete scratched hands
scuffy knees
driveway artshow

top quarter champion

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

perfectly laid out blanket
the ant conquers
each small mountain

red and white checkered
pieces of time
the army of ants

closed minivan doors
burst open
the kids run wild

three ducks
waddle across the playground
just before recess

TOP half champion

CHAMPION
 

BOTTOM half champion

sun tingling my skin
your soft touch
even warmer

too warm
we untangle our hands
from the new sun

a single bead
rolls down my leg
I evaporate

warm breeze
on an exposed thigh
life is sexier now

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

long day in the sun
removing my socks
white feet

the freckles I miss
appear on my face
pure joy

                                  the sun

              to feel
    my face
lift

head facing the sun
I know
everything will be okay
