High Summer Valentine

The eager rain of the future
Wants to extinguish the fire of the past
But the flames won’t let it
 
It holds out its promise
Of no regrets without regret
Then defers to some darker cloud
 
It’s only a summer philosopher
Who won’t follow it
All the way to being
 
Invisible rain
Platonic rain
That bears no flesh
 
The gates of the furnace open wide
Only the invisible escape
To fall in future rain
