Prelude to summer

Summer dresses

Flickering in the wind

Like colorful butterflies

waiting 

to fly off 

into sunshine

Pale bodies slip in

Come out tan

Grass stains

scraped knees

Small rivers of sweat

cooling

in evening

breeze

Leaving soft

tracks

of dried

salt

Soft buzzing of

insects

mixed with murmour

of

glasses being 

filled

with cool drinks

into 

endless 

night
