Sweet Savory Sunburns

by Matt Odell

The doctor said
I have freckles on my heart.
They're not fatal,
but he's curious as to how
I got them

Apparently,
he's never see you smile.
I have
and I've never felt so warm.

Do they make sunscreen for your heart?
cause when these clouds part,
I want to be there.
I just don't want to get a sunburn.

The doctor says I'm too pale.
But, I'll be allright.
I tan quickly.
I just need to see you smile again.
