umbrellas

above summer fields

billowy – floating clouds

goat’s-beard parachutes

I’m watching you.

Even this wandering wind among the pines of the mountain-

I’ve heard that it departs with murmuring sound.

The night opens and I cannot sleep,

Yet, I am dreaming dreams,

And, loving them, the moon I do not see.

a dandelion gives

a nod…

my new summer robe.
