Take one last taste of summer this month. One last juicy bite of freedom before saying hello to carpools and pool closings, farewell to a
Friday frame of mind all week long. Wear your darkest movie star shades before the sun sets off on its world tour. Let homework hassles be a distant dream while you study the ice melting in your drink. Find a dive and rock the joint. Dance to the jukebox like the girl you used to be. Dress like Frida Kahlo under the Mexican sun. Postpone and procrastinate.
Practice being sultry. Surf your own couch through the perfect wave of a dappled green Sunday morning. Purr in a patch of fading sunlight. Befriend your freckles. May the grass kiss your bare feet with abandon before you have to buckle up and buckle down. Cover copy by Nikki Hardin, art by Traci Daberko
“When summer gathers up her robes of glory, And, like a dream, glides away.� Sarah Helen Whitman
