these are the days of black birds beaks spread wide seeking cool on asphalt these are the days of pink Altheas rusted dead two to a bush days when jasmine hides its blooms its scent abandons the night days when the sun flickers and the sweet shadow of what was is lost these are the days that call her name stun her breath and she crawls under the sun porch seeking dusty peace [This message has been edited by The Lady (08-24-2007 11:44 AM).] |

Altheas and Jasmin return with the spring. But will the sweetness ever be the same? MoonShadow . |

the dog days of August, with the old red hound, unable to breath on the porch, finding a cooler space in the porch cooled dirt beneath... Wonderful! |

Lady Kate, even up here north of the 49th we had a sweltering Augustian dog day aujourd'hui! You described yours so poetically! Sending an ice-cold 'angelade' your way!  LA |
