In these diamond Summer moments
delirious skies reflect upon
-
Fog-shrouded peaks surrounded
the people of the cove
-
You are the life vest I cling to
when I begin to sink,
-
You were eighteen I was twenty-one
-
Four men sit in rocking chairs
whiling the hours away

or a Frankenstein bride -

with dainty pink flowers

-
I miss the days
when the Sun was a peach
-
-
Shadows materialize in periphery
but dissipate
-
Thousands take the plunge -
a chorus of barely audible thuds
-
I peeled my clinging tenor off of you and left a sticky residue
-
-
The women in my family are like the fireflies
we caught in Mason jars at the lake house in Summer -
-
I couldn't escape
from your razor-edged Chiclet teeth,
