Abstract
Summer Night Wings Vince Gotera (bio) In the royal blue wash of July nighta yellow glow surrounds the lone street lamp,whirling school of flying insects punch drunk on bright light, dancing a frenzied foxtrotin thick air, their wings whirring loud in amped-upconcerto. More love than you would think existed in the world. But other lovewaits in the wings, so to speak. A ballettroupe in fur and leather enters the fray, gliding through the crowd, a soundless dive.Glorious bats, intoxicated with this tranceof love on the wing, this lavish wheeling dance.
