The Life of Summer

There is an expression
"The Dead of Winter"
it expresses the cold
short days
and even colder
long nights
of the season

What would be the opposite?

Long hot days
a state pass
shorts and no socks
punctuated
by brief cool evenings
filled with chips and guacamole
mosquitoes and beer

The Life of Summer
slowing ebbing

the transition
to Fall
imminent

coming
day by day
to a beach near you
