Summer Irony

First day of summer; the longest day.

Sweet and sour
summer power.

Wait all season
for a good reason.

Longest day,
I restfully lay.

Then the jarring bark
of the too-soon dark.

Dreams of
endless,
sunny days.
Summer incites.

Real become
the longer
nights,
ephemeral days.
Summer betrays.
