solstice

sometimes the shine doesn't come through.
brick is brick
light or shadow
aside.

maybe the bricks need to shatter & split so
the flame can come through.

brick doesn't know how to burn.

maybe that would make the winter
harsh
melt &
spring could bloom early.

they say honey's sweeter
& fire seems to fair well with
the bees & their nectar.

those brick words & their
vinegar dose
seem to be more fight than
they're worth.
