the erratic wake

of a water beetle

is it summer already

8 August 2021 (summer)

summer

why can’t you stay

. . . crickets

27 July 2021 (summertime)

Summertime . . .

in the park at night kids

chase their addictions

20 June 2020 (summer)

longest day

our cat wakes us up

at dawn

June 29: Fireflies

it can't be summer
i haven't seen
any fireflies yet

August 10: Hat

Sun on the sidewalk.

Little boy in flip-flops, shorts,

furry leopard hat.

July is over.

Cat watches out the window,

striped tail twitching.

June 23: Farm stand

Summer's first strawberries.

Watching fog roll in

over the mountain.

August 27: Cicada

Backyard, late summer--

learning a new kind of music

from cicadas.

July 15: Hot

Steamy morning--

humming "Too Darn Hot,"

my mind on a summer past.

June 24: Rugosa

Wild seaside roses.

Empty bait bag on the beach

for holding summer.
