Morning Cool morning cool the tiniest touch of autumn on the horizon then the day full force of summer melts into reality carves cracks into hard ground packed like clay from irrigation’s play flower heads droop cats stretch over side-walked shade dogs dangle tongues from serrated edges worms burrow deep into the soil seeking the cool moisture that’s withstood the drying of the hour heat waves sear rumba striations of vertical streams toward old Sol their dance-creations mirage an oasis toward which to crawl shadows shrink in ever more direct heat of midday and I I remain still waiting pondering shadows lengthened reach toward the cool of evening’s game © August 14, 2001 |
