popsicles in the sun

after sucking
on a popsicle while sitting

on the curb,
in the July sun,

our lips and mouth

would be orange,
or cherry.

stained with the sugary
colored ice.

it would drip down
our chins,

onto
our shirts and socks.

then we gnawed on the stick.
the rounded

popsicle stick
until it was all gone,

then we threw them
at each

other.
it was a long summer.
