Melanoma

Where the sun beats on dry cracking plains like an anvil. Where Winter’s frozen fingers strangle growth. Where sweaty shirts cling to mortal skin. Where humanity stands on a deserted beach, or waits in a crowded queue; that’s where we live. Savour the moment Hungrily consume essence Let flavours explode Biting Life’s experience Expires quicker in sun
