Liquid Sunshine
What if sunshine was liquid like lemonade and what if rain was what washed the stickiness away Would it burn a freshly brewed teapot spurting it’s contents or would it feel comforting and soaking a hot spring in thin air the warmth seeping into cold longing skin what if sunshine had a flavor if we opened our mouths when it dropped from its’ source slow like a lava lamp bloop splat does it burn like fiery cheetos or chili pepper spice is it lemon your mouth puckering around the sour burst is there any sweetness in the sun fresh lemonade and lemon drop candies does it disappear as soon as it hits your outstretched tongue or does it stick like fruit leather each chew releasing a revival of flavor the refreshment of summer senses after a long chilly bowl and cloud flaked season Written by Megan Token
