Oh and again
The gnawing started
That sweet cicada
Song of summer
That raspy buzzing
Sound that takes
Me all the
Way back then
Remember those days
Those melodious memories
Cocktails and stars
And those fireworks
Off the pier
Many years ago
All those were
Long before we
Ever even knew
Who we were
Or would become
Separate each other
Dogged summer days
As brittle as
All the photographs
Kept in books
All those days
So long ago
