While everyone was sleeping<\/span><\/p>\n

We sat by the June bonfire<\/span><\/p>\n

Scaring off the darkness<\/span><\/p>\n

And watched it play out <\/span><\/p>\n

a scene of elephants marching <\/span><\/p>\n

And a queen perched high<\/span><\/p>\n

Wooing her loyal subjects<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the campground<\/span><\/p>\n

So manicured we couldn\u2019t even find<\/span><\/p>\n

A stick for kindling<\/span><\/p>\n

the fire died down<\/span><\/p>\n

We crept away <\/span><\/p>\n

Through a tunnel of fog and fir<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaning into the night<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The birds on the lake hushed as we passed<\/span><\/p>\n

On the way to the dock<\/span><\/p>\n

Where we sat kicking our feet in<\/span><\/p>\n

Midnight water<\/span><\/p>\n

Where you asked me what the lake said<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You stopped walking<\/span><\/p>\n

To pull down a moonbeam<\/span><\/p>\n

To light my face<\/span><\/p>\n

Damn. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
