summer like a drug

blood in pink flesh
matches the air temp
with forehead glistening
melting into the air
summer like a drug
summer like a drug

girl in pink bikini
wanders in grasses
with her pubescent lover
melting into the air
summer like a drug
summer like a drug

dog in grey coat dances
on the prairie running
with unfettered abandon
melting into the air
summer like a drug
summer like a drug

cat in green bower
slumbers fitfully
dreaming of kitten frolics
melting into the air
summer like a drug
summer like a drug
