With the summer heat comes a poison wish
From the lava rocks aside the highway
And our ghosts will only say what we have said
And we'll float painfully like hummingbirds
Seeking each warm season
To keep our corporeal form passing through
The places we have stayed into
To make sure the rent of nostalgia isn't past due
