What happened to those summer nights when you would hold me close.
When you would tell me you loved me and never wanted to let go.
When your skin was the only warmth I knew in the cool nights.
What happened to the sparkle in your eyes when you would look at me.
What happened to the person I loved so dearly.
What changed to make your smile fade.
What changed to make the sparkle in your eyes go away.
What changed to make your hands grow cold.
What changed to make our love grow old.
What happened to those summer nights?

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
