The wild
The wild heart still lives, /
among the tamed yards it prowls, /
its eyes summer bright.

“Summer’s passing”
Summer’s passing
Bare heads hang empty, /
stalks and leaves brown and crispy. /
Spiders claim briskly.

“Latte-dah”
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.

August light
Burnt red sunflower /
hangs its heavy summer head /
in the August light.

As summer rain falls, /
the tiger lilies display /
their spotted beauty.

Summer
Summer has its song. /
Chords of languid heat, love lost, /
and words bound in time.
