LUMINOSITY

In the gorgeous dusk of never quite dark

Laughing with girls in the depths of the park

Throwing a ball and seeking  the grail

Of her quickening smile and flicked pony tail

Those summers always haunt me

In the way warm pavements can

Walking above the streetlights

When alchemy first began

The half light strewn with wonder

Like snowflakes from white skies

Forming crystals in my open mind

That froze as friendly lies
