The Haunting Sway of Summer

Swooning over the sunsets that signal

the coming of the darkness.

Shushing even the wind blowing across—

leaving a coat of coldness. 

Swaying along with the palm trees,

towering over. 

Spiders busily work to spin their geometric webs, 

creating cobwebs in the corners of the houses.


The hands weave bits of sunlight together hoping to cancel

out the darkness within. 

Sighs escape from lips while gazing on the horizon.

Staring up at sky littered with constellations and 

hearing the sounds of grim crickets 

singing the melody of the heat. 

Ghost-like Bodies sway to the music of the golden evening,

Echoing the Past.
