Pillars of Salt - Spring 2019

Page 24

To the hot summer day that melted you and the right side of my brain. we were there for nine hours but it felt like the longest summer and we didn’t move at all like the nine unlucky bugs that are stuck on your windshield for perhaps eternity but i’m sure I felt light showers twisting my stomach and soft winds spinning my hair and the warmth pounding against my skin just enough to cause a head rush but the kind you get after you eat six packs of Nerds and three donuts or stuff your face with ice cream on a record hot day so that it doesn’t melt and ruin everything. the kind that tickles your head after your thoughts went dancing that kind. you were the wheel that turned my nine days into nine months and nine months into nine cozy galaxies and then we said goodbye that awkward nine seconds where we choked so hard on the ice cream and couldn’t speak we melted and ruined everything 24 Pillars ofsoSalt because all seasons end.
