DANCE FOR THE GODS OF SUMMER

Summer solstice fires bright
Burning, burning in the night

Dance and twirl in velvet night
Fire dances with delight

Gods descend, a glorious sight
Holding on to humans plight

All bold emotions to excite
Dance for the Gods of Summer
tonight!

dry crackling grass
breaking off in summer winds
tears the only rain

Sunflowers
shrinking in the summer heat
fade into winter

summer images

SUMMER IMAGES



millions of yellow

petals upon green vines

bee's invitation



mound of loose dirt

hints of activity

fire underground



heat waves in distance

salutation to the day

moon hides her face



heavy-bottomed clouds

pregnant with a future rain

today, no birth



searching for watter

small bowl becomes an ocean

if filled



if you listen

crackin ground has a chant

water me water me



leaves once green

now backed in Summer's oven

float brown and lifeless

gentle summer breezes

provide no resurrection

a river of stones day 6 #1

out on a limb
curiosity and nuts
squirrel feasts alone

victims

victims ...

green grows the grass
underneath the shade tree
while sun seeks victims

summer

summer

leaves dance
soft breeze brings the song
hot sun says no chance
...that rain will come along

ground cracks
ants bake
bye bye
