summer skin

When I can exchange buttoned down shirts for bandanas.
Parkas for swimsuits.
Icicles to popsicles.
Snow flakes to beach waves.
Exams to parties.
Boredom to bonfires.
Midterms to road trips.
Bitten down nails to wind through my hair.
Failing a quiz to diving off a dock.
Stress to relaxation.
Fear to freedom.

Holding my breath
To taking a deep breath of the best months of life.
