► æsthetics

• bare skin: freckled, glowing golden—or vermillion
  • bare toes, wriggling in dewy grass
• breezes halted; breezes heavied by humidity & honeysuckle
• campfires charring meats, veggies, and ooey-gooey marshmallows
  • condensation rolling down glasses of pink lemonade
  • slurping syrupy slices of crisp watermelon
• chlorine & coppertone
• cotton sundresses, clung to thighs glistening with sweat
• crickets' songs; fireflies flickering inside cupped hands
• seashells & mermaids' scales
• the grit & salt of sand & sea
  • sun-dappled undulations; fizzy foam thrashing
• windows down, flying down winding roads skirted by wildflowers & tall, swaying grasses
