End of Summer Typhoon clouds, no rain It’s more lonely than lonely: Misunderstanding Old friends gone quiet Nothing but dreams in my chest Dust of passing years Like a lightning flash Summer ends before it starts May’s big visions now void Oh. Oh. Oh. The typhoon clouds will break And the stultifying heat — the horrific fever dreams — will end Weary rain on the outskirts, and wild rain on the sea, usher in the fall, But just for now: After 2 a.m. Under Perseid diamonds I walk rice field roads Clear skies and Orion watch me Shocking marble moon Rice dancing like cultists in the breezy dark: The innocence of solitude. I almost don’t care if I missed it all.  When all this treasure is mine.  But maybe I can cash out in some other world.  I don’t know. *** *(image: Florian Pircher)*
