One Summer Day
Bedroom curtains
dance in wisps of summer air.
Callings for unplayed games
send un-tied shoes running out the door.
A watermelon awaits
the midday of summer sweat,
plump and deepest green.
The cut unveils a madness of red.
The first bite is taken
with drips of pink laughter
dribbling down the chin.
The sun circles through the afternoon
of Monopoly and naps.
Supper’s cold cuts cool the palate.
We take our iced tea to the porch,
listen to the locusts sing the day’s elegy,
and the sun leaves the fireflies to do their duty.
