Summer

I will wake tomorrow with a creaky neck but there will be sunlight
shining on my face and music lulling me softly into the world and there
will be birds outside reminding me that they're alive too. I might be
thumpstruck by the sound of my own footsteps and not even smell the DNA
twisted up my breath. This is when the grass grows green and the
mornings are warm with laughter that casts the day aside. I will wear
tags on my edges saying "yes, someone was here so I must be real now."
We were the what ifs and the maybes but together we are a whole number.
The glue keeping our fractions together is stronger than the seas, but
the salt still does magnificent things to our hair, even if the water
holds forever in every salty drop. I will go to sleep knowing I've been a
little closer to Atlantis than ever before and I have something to show
for it.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

this goes about like one complete sentence...
not giving a moment to exhale...
until the very end of the lines...
there's a lot going on in this verse...
gets to the senses...
