BURNED
The sun was high that day,
hot, burning the backs of our necks,
reddening our unsuspecting skin.
We followed the tracks,
going farther
than either of us
had ever been;
inseparable in my eyes,
though
not in yours.

I love that line “our unsuspecting skin.” A touch, the sun’s rays, so many tangible memories driven to and through our skin. I love that.
