Asphalt Hot Summer

Scoops of gold powder flapping sunny flame melts into scalding months of humid June. Shade of ablaze sky, fiery clouds won't tame soaking sunshine an untrimmed afternoon. Makeup tinged complexion in denim dress berries and melons succulent sorbet. A swim in pool with pineapple drink fresh hot or cool, doesn't matter anyway. Wages in lease, forever temperate eternal possession of bad luck dregs. Sweltering skin in heat of blood and sweat toil endless labour, aching hands and legs. Some buds wither in tar of asphalt gloom Some color heaven in air conditioned room. 9th August 2019 Sponsor Michelle Faulkner Contest Name A Summer's Day Redo
