Supermoon

humans made you a hero /

Slowly in August /

Fragile and sun-bleached, /

Life
Do flowers lament /
as they die or do they laugh /
with life’s transience?

Raspberries
Collected at dusk, /

Latte-dah
Summer is over, so Starbucks declares, /
bringing forth their fall pumpkin wares. /
Temperatures still roiling across the US. /
When they will break is anybody’s guess. /
Hurricanes hit California and other coasts, /
but Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Starbucks boasts. /
It may be 69 days until Halloween /
but this declaration seems self-serving and a bit obscene.

Reclaim
Up through the asphalt, /
the common sow thistle grows, /
reclaiming its home.
