Dear solstice,
Such a long darkness
Opens my soul
Left unattended in the distraction of sunshine I forgot how much you can give to me
I saw a smuge of eyeliner
on her sunned, freckled cheek
I wish I didn't have to watch her shimmy
sighing hard
into her jeans
or smearing her lipstick
on a dry dark mouth
