GENIE’S LAMP: Summer Love

By GENIE NAKANO

melons bursting on the vine dripping with sweetness, our eyes cling to each other

dandelion wine packing all the joys of summer into a single bottle let’s drink it all this Sunday celebrating with each sip

off the wall into a mid-summer night with a firefly sky crickets in competition pinch me—is this real?
