Michelle Faulkner Poet Lento

Summer For the Win

From behind packs of premature spring
Comes molten summer for the win!
Crumbs of hot rain snatched away
Numb rivers sink into bleak basins

May's but a gentle memory of
Days kissed with misty green hindsight
Bays and beaches fill with sun children who will
Stay long beyond the tahitian twilight.
