on the last solstice

Today the sun died
the day lost the lead
the tally now more dark

After my head
found sleep
I pretended to dream
doesn't even work
not even as good
as you might hope

It all fell
like every year
with a stale mate
even draw

The afternoon understood
on offered here and now
one more slice of summer
despite the change in the wind
already signing a new name
in longer shadows
and colder tongues
