~ from "Quiet World":
Given time – does every summer cool?
The ancient “star-crossed lovers” has a twist
Forced upon it. Despite impending doom
It sparkles so casually persists
Because our culture thinks not, just assumes.
In some ways I feel such a thing is apt
For loves drawn out by cologne and perfume
Their comprehension of their love is trapped
Like Romeo and Juliet, the fools –
To be star-crossed’s to die – not to be rapt.
Given time, most every summer cools.
June 5
