Summer’s return

Summer- embraced, like a returning friend-
from a distant land. Here warmth descends-
here, she’s standing at the green fence. 

Listen- Summer’s chipping off her snack-  
rain and leaves crunched, with the cracks, 
incessantly- stirring a nostalgic hunger’s lack. 

Summer & melancholic hopers/the night eaters
in awakened dreams that have a bygone savor
of love & loss becoming- temporary painkillers.
