Ode to a summer I wish to have lived through

Summer of Love (1967)

by Thomas Troso

We are the flower children,

our heart and soul conjoined.

We mine the rocks

from depths of the Earth,

and wear them around our necks

like a golden medallion.

 

We live in technicolor.

 

We sing to the sunflowers

and they turn to face us.

Our voice

emits spectra

that rings in ears

of the devoted.

 

We are the renegades.

 

We are devoted

to diamond-studded cities

where we can walk

along fields of diethylamide

and be unbothered

by the mud on our shoes.
