“Sirius Sojourn by Stewart Stafford
Cottage in an aromatic meadow,
Summer's languid haze hanging,
The old windmill's sundial stilled,
Chirping birds and insect drones.
Flowing brooks at a funereal pace,
A bloated lull duels exiguous energy,
Thick air's blanketing somnolence,
Liquid refreshment soothes inertia.
Salmon sundown slithers to a siesta,
In a clear purple sky nodding assent,
The intense day imperceptibly eased,
As the night's humid embrace begins.

“She’s in every place I visit, in all the love songs I listen to. She’s in the chocolate-cherry ice cream I eat and the 2000s movies I watch and the Jeep I still drive and the thunderstorms outside my window and the quotes I read about love and pain and beauty and heartache.”
