Summer………
Ah, what music north.
Lay out on summer at last.
Pipe the first faint break of cloud and air.
Pipe the heated rotten,
the over sweetened bloom.
Pipe the soothing heat in summer’s name.
Lay out on summer’s depth,
bass along the wetted spine….
How fancy o’erspills its frame outward
And every drowsy glance is eternity.

Hi Daver -
ReplyDelete"every drowsy glance is eternity" I keep thinking about that. I get it for a second then lose it then get it again.

Your poem has a hazy, drifting feel, David, just like a Summer's day. Thanks for sharing such a lovely piece.
