almost autumn -
the bumblebees asleep
in the thistle

leaving again -
the highway, the sky
one shade of grey

daisy chain tying
you and me that summer day
cannot be broken

cicada shells -
where once you stood
by the river

dark brown water
somewhere six feet under
i get scared

sit in the woods
a moment to comprehend

against the nylon
unseen drops whack flatly -
don't touch the edges

winsome auburn
sunlit summer swimmer
stretching slowly
