Summer Summary

I promise essays and you keep getting poetry. It's just been that kind of a summer.


Summer of Broken Things

these blissful summer days with you
as the garage door crumples
fridge stops humming
computer blue, click click click
“Beginning Internal Memory Dump”

our sweet ice cream’s melting
steadfast sink’s sprung a leak
dishwasher rivers snake across the floor
TV crackles, smokes
falls silent

better get outside
better get out
this house is shutting down
