The Turn

Mist floats north / above the pond / past white roses.

All night
the final summer rain
comes & goes.

Low fifties
call for flannel jammies
& wool socks.

Naked on shower tile 
we shake waiting 
for hot water.

Daylight stalls
behind peaks
till breakfast’s over.

Mist floats north 
above the pond 
past white roses. 

Stone fruit’s gone.
Apples replace
watermelon.

On failing wings
mosquitos hover
close to sunny walls.

Auburn grape leaves
curl, absciss
escape in the wind.

A hummingbird 
silhouette 
sups at a yellow flute.

Too cold
we decide
for early bicycle rides.

Mike’s green blanket
my red
keep us in bed.
