The cold lake water, soothing our hot skin.
Condensation dripping down cans.
Coals crackling in the distance,
the sound of laughter echoes.
Reunited old friends.
Love is like the summer; Hot, humid and often ends abruptly.
But not His love,
Searing into her skin like a bad sunburn, making her senses tingle.
Memories flooding her mind.
Of when we they children, young and unsuspecting.
Although memories tend to fade and change. The feelings latch on, much like a leech, bleeding them of love.
Although a decade has passed, love is still in their hearts.
Beating against the walls of their chests to be let out.
The summer brings love.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
