i’ll be naked by summer time
you’ll see me body for body

i’ll have stripped the crust and despair.
this. summer.
will. be.
hot.

it’ll burn all my knits and scarves
and i’ll be hot.
i’ll be naked.
come summertime.

i won’t remember how the leaves
or pond froze or freezes.
come summer.
nothing will remain of me.
i’ll be naked, walking the streets,
nothing to hide in the summertime.

my body will remain mine.
i will no longer be bound
by the breadth and beauty of clothes.
skin will be skin,
and i will shine from within.

the sun will stay hot.
it’ll heat up my skin.

i’ll jump in the water
absolve myself of sin.
