cucumbers

{via janoid on flickr}

cucumber



it’s the taste of tears on your lips,

salted and sweet


it’s the feel as tongue grazes teeth

slippery and wet


it’s the color of spring

vivid and green


it’s the skin of a birch

soft and mellow


it’s the smell of damp grass

fruity and familiar


it’s the sound of footsteps

bare feet on tile at sunset


it’s the taste of rainwater

lukewarm but cool


it’s the shadow of a baby’s thumbprint

scrubbed and clean
