Little legs run through fresh-cut greens. Silky grass grazes through little toes and tickles little armpits. The warm air kisses the tips of little foreheads and flat … Continue reading Summer Daze, Summer Haze
by Vanessa Carter I don’t think he understands the hold he has on me, but then again no one does.
