Pausing to puzzle
as summer slides into autumn
like a melted popsicle —
where do the days
go?
Is the past like a unicorn —
elusive and impossible to
prove or disprove, but we
want to believe it
has
the cure for all that ails.
If we look back, forward,
right, left, up and down,
we will find
magic.

Notes: Night is the right time for looking back over the day and maybe even further back — into long nights of hope, hurry, joy, and worry. Drinking each memory like a liquor that tastes sweet, bitter, tangy, and spicy, by turns. I hope your memories taste sweet tonight.

Lovely photo and poem. It’s interesting to think how difficult it would be to prove or disprove our own past.
