Heatwave

vicecream

 

its 103 degrees and I’m riding in a car. Hot air rushes in the window

I’m painting my eyelids gold

 

My beloved points ahead and we both watch

A tiny hand hanging out the window of a car in front of us

 

The little hand plays with the air like it’s a friend

 

and somehow it makes the world feel pink and golden
