summer nights, windows up

so the breeze slides in

like me, the screen’s slightly off center

so little bugs still fly in.

but it's worth it. this moment

perfect nights like this

the stars aligned, the dose just right

a rare and balanced bliss

firefly fireworks

pierce the dark, light the sky

the most potent strain of Mary Jane

would barely reach this high

feelings copied and pasted from the pages of novels

if I weren’t here I wouldn’t believe this to be real

a moment so perfectly perfect

perfect more? if only time would still

at last, my heart’s content.

wouldn’t want to be anyone else

for the first time since I don't know when

I think I just might love myself.
