shaker with no ice

by Kristina Woodhill

margarita without the lime
salt rises to her shimmering skin
99 degree edges
crusted sun weary lips
tongue tip tentative
only a nut would stay out
in this roasting
bartender forgot to pour the tequila
her glass filled with hot, dry July

Really like the way you use words and images to get the message across here, Kris.
