Late Summer Day
Water finds form
a child with a hose
spraying the landscape for enemies
Summer I could draw
if it would stand still --
instead it crawls along my eyesight
the sun is hot,
the breeze is not
the convertibles pass by the front proch of my house
boastfully claiming their air that is denied to other cars
the long day draws to a close
Tomorrow will have its own common sense to flood the trees with light
