in the night
questions
as she disappears

the midnight hour
so dark and serene
the tranquility of stars

ships exploding
lasers firs all around
Dad says keep it down

the scream of sirens
in the night
     dogs barking

summer shower
I sit down
to read a book

nightfall
voices on the beach
turtles hatching

late summer night
we sneak out
just to talk

hard wooden door
brass lock
freedom

summer love
on the beach
toes soaking in the sand

at the prom
they all laugh and dance
finally school's over

hearing his voice
my eyes search
for him

in a corner
his eyes meet hers
their dance

dragonfly
dart dart zip
gone

hot summer
sweat rolls along
the glass

Heyyyyy, Tracy

Rejection.

blushing,
he whisks me away
on a train
