perhappened issue 3: HEATWAVE

Full disclosure, I haven’t been to a campground since I was a kid, but when perhappend mag’s latest submission call was themed HEATWAVE, I had to send in a camping poem. There’s BBQ’s, citronella, and withering walnuts in this one.

Read “Three Tiers of Campground Adulting” in issue 3 of perhappened mag.

coiled citronella,
the smell of mosquito summers
burnt out at the end
