Subside

Coneflowers subside, /

become next summer’s promise. /

Will hope find its roots.

“Scents”

Scents

Summertime bread /

expands the kitchen with scents /

slowly lost to time.

A lover felt and gone.

Touch me not

Touch not what I touch, /

hoping only to feel worlds /

and none of yourself.

First sign of Summer.

Man creates fire on the grill.

Meat and satire ensue.
