Sometimes in Summer

Sometimes in summer
When cicadas are humming
And the heat of the pavement
Shimmers in the air,


I still hear your whisper
Thunder within me,
Still feel the dampness
Of your skin and your hair.

Sometimes in summer
A sudden sun shower
Will bleary the window
And raise my arm hair,

The room will go silent
And I’ll sense you beside me,
Sun dappled or shadowed
Your ghost will be there.
