black & white sunday: summertime
On the shins of thin legs
breezes touching the hairs —
time of summer clothes.

summer’s fading
My own shadow
trodden on in the shallows-

hot night in the trees-

Darkness has lifted and
In the sky that is my heart
Dwells the moon–
To the western mountains’ edge
It does, perhaps, draw near.

hot summer days
these hot summer days

those days called Long Ago
sweet peas
