the key

the key to not getting a headache is drinking lots of water. this Summer. for me. don’t leave the window open overnight, please. the cool air freezes neck muscles tightening when you wake bands around the skull tightening cold air, not drinking a glass of water not feeding the squirrels or sitting by the lake some things you owe yourself such as: rice milk over strawberries, root beer with a salty grill, the ocean in your ears. collapse your wound-up limbs on me let the heat bring out your sweat and melt, melt, melt.
