ALT The Summer After Last by Michael Burkard I do not want to belabor invisibility, but if it isn’t there in the spaces among the people as a spiritual thread then I do not want to be there either. Sea or no sea, house or not. There is a useless rage in returning to the past. It is a labor not unlike labor among the stones, 5 years time and someone is made to break them for nothing. Sea or no sea, house or not. In the unrational time of the summer after last I found myself alone with the sun, simple night, water when I wanted water. My heart almost broke for not being used to this. It is amazing, the chains attempted upon the heart. Sea or no sea, house or not. —for Bill
