Poem by Anthony David Vernon
With the summer heat comes a poison wish From the lava rocks aside the highway And our ghosts will only say what we have said And we'll float painfully like hummingbirds Seeking each warm season To keep our corporeal form passing through The places we have stayed into To make sure the rent of nostalgia isn't past due
