The Dog Days

I've been pretty busy this summer so far..went to a bunch of shows..did some travelling and visited tons of friends.

My friend and I started off the summer with graduation parties on long island and a road trip to Montauk. We visited the house from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

It was pretty foggy..

I also went to Governor's ball..which was really really awesome. It was a mini one day music festival on Governor's Island..featuring Reptar, a Passion Pit DJ set, Empire of the Sun, Pretty Lights and tons of other cool bands.

My friend on the ferry...dressed in vintage.

Meeting silly people in the crowds.

Another weekend my friend and I went hiking in Cold Spring on a part of the Appalaichain Trail. We found a survival kit on the way..

We also explored tons of ruins which lined the train..apparently from an old mining village. So pretty with overgrown vines and moss.

I walked the Walkway over the Hudson one overcast morning..

Free Andrew Bird show at Prospect Park..one of many concerts this summer..

Posing in front of an insanely adorable mushroom bouncy castle at the Rainbow City Exhibit near the High Line.

Summersong

Trace your hand through the sand.
Smooth like a gull glides on the cirrus.
Until you are struck by grains so miniscule,
But they hide in the crevices,
And later when you go to wash up they empty out of your pockets.


It's chilly but you go for a dive on a dare.
The icy water hits you so quickly you missed a chance to breathe.
But in lesser time,
Your body is accustomed to the coldness and comfort returns.

The sun smirks as is fries your cells,
Melanin drinks in the rays like a famished animal.
You are leather like your father's briefcase.
Tiny colonies and speckles appear across your nose.
But your soul is soft with the joys of summer.
