Summer is

By Hailey Jiang

The scorching sunlight shining, 
Bird calls lasting until evening
When the sun leaves and 
The sky turns purple, 
Leaving me with a love confession 
on my lips. 

Summer is 
The repetition of the ocean crashing, 
The scent of coconut, 
The thrill of a carnival ride 
In the dark, just us and 
The lights, a golden spark 
As the world spins around us,
Your hand on mine. 

Summer is 
The salty breeze in your knotted hair,
Seashells tinkling in the wind, 
The smell of coconut sunscreen, 
A lost memory, a drunken haze 
Of what happened the night before. 

Summer is 
Seashells washed ashore 
To be strung into bracelets on 
This day, woven together on your arm. 
The taste of coconut ice cream, 
Cold and sweet, the after taste of
Your lips. 

Summer is a coconut shell, 
Summer is whirled together,
Summer is fleeting.
