issue 3: HEATWAVE

just peachy

JOYCE KUNG
late summer means peaches:
that slow drip
of juice rolling
down your wrist,
sticky and sweet
in the warm August heat.

we sink our teeth
into soft evenings,
flesh bruised
only by the tight grip
of time dripping by.

Joyce Kung is currently finishing her final year of computer science at the University of Waterloo. She moonlights as a poet and daylights as a software developer (both are hard as hell). Peaches are her favourite fruit. You can find her on Twitter occasionally @commitsbyjoyce.
