Friday, 8

by Melanie J Yarbrough

I drive,
ask Shannon to turn on music
I can sing to.
She chooses pop
and I hear her dancing
in the backseat.
The sky opens for two hours
on the roofdeck,
leaving us to walk under rain
without umbrellas
with pink cheeks
and fake tattoos.

I write in my journal
how I like the sea air
in my skirt,
the feeling of my hair on my shoulders.

Neat montage of images captured in a day.

i want to get my hair cut again. i like the feeling on my shoulders, too. (i think it's better with real tattoos, though) :)
