Summer Kiss

Shannon Holman

The fires are starting.
Lessen the spaces.
The sun, if it moves.
The sun, if it moves.
They all want something.
Like Appaloosas.

Time is running out.
Pilot is wounded.
The fires are starting.
The fires are starting.

Shannon Holman's poems have appeared in Crowd, Diagram, Goodfoot, La Petite Zine, Pierogi Press, and elsewhere. She studied poetry at Oberlin College and New School University and is the poetry editor of LIT magazine. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
