Last day of summer

  A coffee and a sunny last day of summer; beauty of life gleams over cinema posters. A leaf is hanging from a branch like a tired phallus.   Maybe those aren’t broken dreams, Lover, maybe those are births of some new dreams underneath the fingers of some new me.   Runaway balloons fly through … More Last day of summer
