I should've worn a longer-sleeved shirt--
then maybe now my arms wouldn't hurt!

Soft
naked skin,
a sunburned canvas
displaying colorful art;
Trace,
outline the rest of the sleeve;
Decorate my heart
but leave no
scars.

Did you ever see a fly with a sunburned eye
Or a tiny mosquito that consumed a whole pie
Whatcha been smokin'
Your brain is erodin'
Better come down, you're flyin' too high

The sunburned girl smiles
Patches of warm memories
Some pain hurts so good.

My face is sunburned crimson, the skin
on my forearms is peeling off, bruises
appear on my biceps, a red gash
gashes across the front of my shoulder, my calves
tighten, my thumb joint
makes it painful to write, I can’t really explain
what’s wrong with the side of my neck
but my heart feels good
for the first time
in twelve days.
