A Quote and a Poem

“Every choice made, be it picking a ‘forbidden fruit’ or leaving the light on,
can portend cumulative catastrophe for generations. I must live by this
existential truth.” Donna Boguslav

Let the summer
be sufficient, yes:

but oh – how you miss
darkness’ solace!

You long for its
envelopment to come

back – color you,
pick up your hand.

Here’s what you look
forward to about

the summer solstice:
after it, the days

grow shorter, and
the nights expand.
