june

I call my mother on the phone. She might hear me crying into the heels of my palms.

Little bugs, red as hard cinnamon candy, crawl up my arms.

The sky is mottled and familiar, a sweaty, slept-in sheet.

july

The Fourth of July is a very long month.

I sit with my toes in river water, cold and churning from the mountains.

Stop therapizing me! I keep saying it, over and over.

august

My sister says, let me baptize you, both of us rib deep in ocean water. The sea spills out into the bay.

An ancient oath, a primal kind, dip my tangled hair under the waves, laughing. Tides kiss the narrow, rocky beach.
