Midsummer skin. Warm blood and leaden limbs. We are blushed with the majesty. Of rich and vivid heat. In white sheets we hide. Curtains drawn and windows wide. As the midsummer apathy. Soaks in to every crease.
Here we stand. Arm in arm. Heartlands laid out before us.
As we climb. The proud sun waits. To crown the view from the heights. Sink into the ocean reflecting its light.
The city lies in silhouette tonight. Framed by seas clad in bronze.
Midsummer skin. The quiet bloom of melanin. Flames in the evening chill. Air thick and still. Quench your thirst. Here, as drawn from the stillest of earth. The water cascades. Sweats through every vein.
