Elaine Ku<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

August is a sleeping giant
\nIt spews thick yellow breath over
\npeople and shadows
\nBleeds aluminum dust over
\nabandoned pennies and
\nsunflower seed shells<\/p>\n

August opens an amber eye and
\nreleases hungry ghosts
\nwho consume old coffee mugs
\norchestrate tiny concerts with
\nbloated cigarettes
\nand sip salad dressing smoothies of
\nfermented sunshine<\/p>\n

August awakens to
\nMelt bicycles to the concrete
\ncurdle children like sour milk
\ncrush wishes up like paper and
\npick fights with runaway cats<\/p>\n

August nestles deep in my heart
\nIt won\u2019t let me sleep<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
