I like so many songs that it's almost impossible to choose a favorite, but I do love "Seven" by Taylor Swift. The dreamy, wistful lyrics and soft melody take you back to a summer memory from early childhood--a memory that has been torn and blurred, but is still there nontheless, in the form of sweet tea settling on your tongue, of folklore passed on through generations. It tells of a love between two friends who dream of running away and being pirates and escaping all the hardship in their young lives, as wild and free as they every will be.

writer's block
how did words once flow
like water
from my mind?
-
figures of the night
we sat and imagined fireflies
flitting between the tops of the RVs
as the sun disappeared into muggy,
illicit sludge. we realized we both liked
the sticky-sweet taste of summer

The sun
you're not
leaving yet. no,
i'll glue your limbs to the pavement,
lower your waving hand,
tell you
something to make your eyes crinkle
again.
again,
again,
again.
