Heavenly Crush

Lord, please put summer on pause... everything is bathed in jade and bronzed. Queen Ann's lac and curbside weeds, beatified in the sweet, sautéed sunshine. Everything is sheened in overabundance- the aspen leaves are jiving on the breeze. A cardinal is as plump as an uncut ruby... for two weeks on- when the sun comes up it weaves a song with lemon drops is it taunting me or thanking the good lord Lord, please put summer on pause While I'm still enmeshed in bone and flesh within the golden foothills of a heavenly crush.
