Midsummer Midnight

midsummer midnightand sweet dreams
orchestra of crickets
    a steady snore
blades spinning overhead
     moon tapping the blinds
midsummer              midnight
eyes darting back & forth
      between fantasias
and goosebumps, nebulosity
      between reality
and surrealism
                                midsummer midnight
the court of inside & out
       each one, unknown
to the other - a cup of joe
       extracts the residuals
fog lifts with cream and a pour

Vijay Pandit Date: 7/16/2022 7:01:00 AM I like the voice of this midsummer midnight, Kim--especially impressed with the ending lines: the court of inside & out each one, unknown to the other - a cup of joe extracts the residuals-- fog lifts with cream and a pour Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/16/2022 7:03:00 AM Thank you so much, Vijay!
