no longer lost midsummer last.

always hallways —

— opportunities knock

then —

— no longer lost midsummer last —

— now

‘twas all the horses’ birthdays —

— here & there

when dead o’ winter —

— hemis-fear the worst

memories o’ warmth beckons —

— ice in air

shivering begets more sunshine —

—l isten

no storm —

just birds —

no cold —

— just another shout

roast in the season’s sunshine —

— & glisten

now cold days indoors —

— then loud nights up, out

that time i danced & you danced too —

— shirts, skirts

drunken conversations with stomachs full

that time you kissed me then i missed you

— des(s)erts

averted gaze —

— endless daze —

— those days still

linger — longer — i dream of summertime

than any other season — no reason

other than sunburn — bittersweet, sublime

rather be peelin’ skin than frostbitten

bya fire now warm — bonfire, then dance, sing

went there alone — now alone together

moonlit water before us — summernight

we slept — hot coffee — the mo(u)rning after

oh yeah —

alright —

okay then —

— that happened

did it —

did we —

d'you —

done there —

— c’mere

frozen now — too cold to continue, hear

gone summer nights —

everlasting moments —

winters day o’ ice —

midsummer nights dreamt

older, colder, alone — dead o’ winter

rather then, when you were there — sun shone days

d’you remember — the night we had love

since summertime — still i burn your flame

cold season, must be the reason —

— miss you .
