June Yard Work
Just seven days into summer
yellow sumac leaves fall

keep mowing
plenty of time left
plenty of grass

July at the Lake
sunscreen lotion
everywhere

usedta be
just for the beach

usedta smell
just like sand

August Light
half of this imagined season
just to remind us,
        summer's almost over

autumnal nights
dimming breakfasts
then incandescent meals
through May

June Yard Work
Just seven days into summer
yellow sumac leaves fall Love this, fall already.

keep mowing
plenty of grass to cut

July at the Lake
sunscreen lotion
everywhere

usedta be
just for the beach

usedta smell
just like sand

August Light
half of this imagined season
seems purposed to remind us
summer's almost over

cool mornings
chilly evenings
dimmer breakfasts
then incandescent meals
through May
