Being born in July means

Having fire in your eyes

And an ocean in your heart.

It means balmy nights

And listless Sunday mornings.

Salty tears,

And flashlights against a starry night sky.

It means

Alway being stuck in the middle,

Never quite finding your footing,

Because you're not sure

If you’re any closer to June

Than you are to August.

July means

Ice clinking around in your brain

Just the same as the cubes in your sweet tea.

Sitting on the roof

And jumping off the dock.

Floating atop the glass sea,

And realizing your entire being

belongs to the water.
