Freckles
morning heat bakes my bones
warms my skin
I turn my face up for more freckles
I stand in the yard
close my eyes
encompassed by
hot pushing heat waves
the dog leans
heavily against me
lets go
its too hot
he is panting
thinking of his baby pool in the yard
I am absorbing as much summer as I can
this is the day I will remember
in January
