Summer Solstice
just as it begins
time shifts the other way round
longest to shortest
paint
palette of pigment
mixing colors with water
image on paper
failure
what is it to fail
as a tiny speck of dust
drifting aimlessly
ripple
placid water breaks
stone in the pond of my heart
disrupts the silence
verdant
ancient mountain range
laid with a carpet of green
polished smooth by time
socks
another one lost
the black hole that eats all socks
inside every home
