June is the Threshold of Summer
The summers of my memory are those
of fireflies and yearning. The season
of nostalgia. I was always pausing
at the gate of my life in summer. Almost there,
the turning of the wheel, the burning of the sun.
The stars they always knew my name.
I waited there, here, this season that brings
me back myself. The younger days
visit with me, ghosts that I always write with.
