Summer work anew /
sprouting from seed to flower /
to pollen to bee.

Summer work anew /
sprouting from seed to flower /
to pollen to bee.

Women are trouble: /
Men are Loser’s Hand-me-downs; /
Death smiles so sweetly.

Canicular days /
Swinging hard at the Dog Star /
Home run, Sirius.

There once was a man so wise /
he read a book on disguise. /
And to this very day /
when he wants to slip away /
glasses and a mustache he applies. /

Summer bumblebee /
exploring the cone flower, /
your fall is unknown.

My heart in my hands /
Golden against gritty palms /
Each soft beat your name.

There once was writer of acknowledgements /
Who was in a pickle over compliments. /
To make them clear and sincere /
And not sound in arrears /
Or as if she were paying emoluments.

Homemade mobile home /
Old truck and dreams unbound /
Rust winks at all hopes.

God expects man’s fruit. /
Man delivers shells instead. /
Hollow is the love.

All my friends are clouds /
Scuttling across the sky /
Whispering thunder.
