“The next wall”

The next wall

Built with hopes and bones, /

we assail the next brick wall. /

Mortal to mortar.

Summer

Summer has its song. /

Chords of languid heat, love lost, /

and words bound in time.

Sunflowers live, then /

sunflowers die, each bloom holds /

life’s brief monument.

Poop on the petals. /

Beauty faces rejection, /

but ants aren’t bothered.
