Junebugs
flutter and buzz
zapping themselves
against
the floodlight
silhouettes
of nearby trees
their branches
an endless
reaching
nature embraces coolness
after a swift rain
wet earth transforms smells
a soiled sensation in my nose
gentle wind tickles my skin
raggy
tall grass
epitomizes
upside down
bird feet
a rainbow left
its full spectrum
comet tail
dashing
between clouds
three quarter moon
is either shaped
from too much food
or is one quarter
pregnant
black sky
flashed
and busted its veins
summer monsoon
is coming
I wink
at the moon
and the moon
winks
at me back
the bullied moon
wears
a
swollen
black
eye
short petalled
yellow mums
jiggle under
the air-conditioner
they need full sunlight
scorching sun
fresh cut grass needs water
yellow mums need planting
I stay inside
it's too hot
newly planted
yellow mums
agree
with its new
planter home
on the side
of my shed
are purple flowers
too bad
they're on tall weeds
the weeds
are having a hey day
in my back yard
the grackles
don't mind
poor yellow mums
planted last week
choking heat
withered
them all
frail baby willow
half bare
the wind
blew away
part of its virtue
chubby sparrow
is playing
jungle bird
through
my tall grass
roasting sun
dries the grass
faster
than I
can water
