Summertime Color
I'm going to lose my summertime color.
A chocolate brown, creamy enough to melt in your mouth.
Cinnamon toast for the winter cold.
Molasses black for sweet gingerbread cookies.
Mahogany sculpted by the craftiest hands.
Caramel to stick to the roof of your mouth.
Amber in the finest gold.
Tamarind for the sweetest punch.
Brown to intoxicate your mind.
