By Kelli Anna

link pinkies in the summer heat

Under a sunlit fingernail
We set our intentions
For another rotation

Consume less
Listen more closely to the dog breathing
Move more
Notice the orange flowers along the creek
Break open like a baby blue robin's egg
Read slowly
Link pinkies in the summer heat

Where your scent lingers
in the crease Of my elbow
tucked away like A secret love letter

Sung on the waxing edge of summer
While a ribbon of daylight remains

Oh how I wish you were here
