there is matchless sunshine euphoria

the dying summer

can you hear the timestrung river run


stay and play by the pebbled streambank

the boy with missing fingers makes magic with cards

can you pick a card and watch it reappear as a gleaming phoenix in the muddy deck


gravestones rubbed raw under your fingertips while the sunset bleeds in your periphery

the chainlink and the tombstones of three children who never saw the winter

can you feel the solemnness sunk into the 1900 engravings


twilight specter of dear lady día-de-los-muertos hangs like a candlelit ghost

the woman with obsidian braids burns wildflowers in remembrance

can you reach for longlost souls you've never met


leap back through the sundried meadow and yell your name into the breeze

the crisp leaves crunch in the shadow of the twilight woods

can you see the firefly scars greenbrier leaves on your ankles


catch the maroon starlight of cinnamon sugar icing

the flamelight crackles and pops

can you taste the jalepeno sausage and let your tongue sizzle into embers


carry a crimson coal through the silent dark

the dragonfire burning juniper smoke

can you coax a fire to life with your lungs and exhale your heart


nestle into the polyester softness of your sleeping bag cradle

the girl with caramel hair gossips the grecian myths

can you listen while the pleiades arc above


breathe before the moon rises and spangles the midnight clouds

the withered end waits six feet below

can you live to see the sun arch and the frost spangle the leaves


before wandering teens trace your name in the sunglazed november

unchain the teardrop millstone

you were only waiting for this moment to arrive

you were only waiting for this moment to arrive
