June

June smells like

Birthday candles being blown out on the cake

Smoky trails of sweetness 

Are swept into my face

June feels like

The petals of a dandelion

Soft as a baby’s fingers

Against my cheek

Violets 

That I roll on

Growing in a big patch in the backyard

June tastes like

A cold ice cream sandwich 

Icy vanilla sitting cooly

Between creamy chocolate

June looks like

Soft orange sheets at the end of a hot day

Sun sparkling off the water in the pool

June is the month

Of gentle happiness
