chunky big splotches of colors
a canvas of blazing blue
a mellow sun's last symphonya canvas of blazing blue
chugging out some unexpected hues
baggy t shirts
a garden watered to the core
pariah kites in swirling abandon
bug bites and open pores
bare skina garden watered to the core
pariah kites in swirling abandon
bug bites and open pores
sweaty pecks
on napes of necks
summer equinox
dusk walking the slow walk
sticky sweet monotony of solitary hoursdusk walking the slow walk
swinging in the hammock
ankles and arms interlocked
moss roses in hanging pots
some newly churned out thoughtsankles and arms interlocked
moss roses in hanging pots
sheer muslin memories
in sluggish spurts
when did silence

Sonny--love your summer song.
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely - I especially like your juxtapositions and internal rhymes - the sweaty pecks on napes of necks juxtaposed with summer equinox. I also like the end very much - the sheer muslin memories and the silent difficult to cut. k.
ReplyDeletethat's an excellent closure. lovely images, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTakes me back about 40 years when darkened wine bars were the vogue and intense young people read their poetry to anyone who would listen. This is very evocative of summer.
ReplyDeletenice...we have a hammock in the garden as well..my daughter brought it from bolivia..very cool summer symphony...well played on all the strings...and i enjoyed listening to all the subtones..
ReplyDeleteLovely take on summer, that long slow summer know them well.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, the imagery invokes, sweat, fragrances, lazy days, life as it can be summer time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet melody for summer and such a gorgeous photo. I love the comfort of unexpected hues and late summer and the interlocking and the muslin memories. Very pretty. :)
