Gloucester, VA

I am from a labyrinth of country roads

And a darkness that only the soul knows

I am from little light and bright stars

Reaching infinitely above a symphony of cicadas

The smell of summer lingering in the night

And a winter that infests the bones

I am from one main road and bridges that never open

Sweeping over waters that never cool

Embodying memories of a childhood

Stretched lazily on the sand of the riverbank

With a Ben n Jerry’s ice cream in hand
