Shining sun searing, sizzling, my scorched skin.
Summer summons suddenly, stories set sometime ago
Stories shaped so astonishingly, some say shadowy specter
Silently satisfied I sit, savoring seasoned story-tellers

Smooth, symbolic, and surreal.
Summer sun setting silently
Setting silently summer stars...
