The boards creaked
As she walked on the
Boardwalk
She was
Not much farther than
The horizon
She wore white
And her hair
Glistened
As the clouds
Opened up
Like bar swinging doors
To let some light in
And the closer she got
The louder her steps
I held my hand
Close to my chest
To suppress all
The drumming
My heart
Decided to make
So I could listen
Took the tag off my shirt
It itched my back
Scratched it to shreds
The weather is pleasant
I’m surprised last night’s rain
Didn’t destroy the spider’s web
It holds little droplets
Like tiny mirrors
I have an urge to run my
Hand through it and roll it
Like cotton candy
But that spider hurt nobody
Helps with the mosquitoes
And the bad vibes
I’m drinking lemon tea
And it hits the spot
My dog jumps on me
And I pat his head
There’s no way
I’ll let anything
Ruin today
