ice cream dream

amanda oaks
notes float & ring
through the air here

shoes beat the sidewalk
coins clink in chino-pockets
rainbow bomb pops &
dreamsicle doses of
apple pie a-la-mode
on a stick

i can’t be bothered by
the gum on my shoe
or sticky fingers

it’s your eyes
that seize
my attention

the blue

the summer heat
doesn’t even come close
to melting me
like you do
