The Solstice Effect

Lying down still
Light breathing
Lacerations on my

Wrist a hair binder
Quit your worrying
Quit your lectures

Longest day of the year
Sun's sticking around
For a ( ) while

Your hair
Isn't going anywhere
Neither are the shocks

Of skin and lead
That pump my body with dread
I deserve the floor

Flat, _level_ carpet
To leave me aching
Because the evening

That takes
Shallow breaths
Distorts the view of

You.
The night it rained,
I beg you to understand.
