deer in the garden
their grace and beauty
ravaging the blooms

crickets tuning up
pitch pipe gives D sharp
an august evening

dry wind in dry grass
sweeping out cigarette butts
dead leaves and bark

carpenters next door
hammering away— slower
than that woodpecker

midsummer moonrise
a hummingbird’s silhouette
flying across

a plum far above
outshines jupiter
in the july sky

living quietly
the morning world overflows
hundreds of songbirds

no one at the park
only memories and wind
swinging back and forth

bright gems on the tide
the milky way spilling
into a dark sea

google up beach scenes
and eat salt water taffy
summer vacation

perennial waves
endless summer hydrangeas
hummingbirds sail on

in front of the sweet melons
dewedges her butt

summer long evening concerts
