the drive
June
first fireflies
time to see as lights above
the darkling field
something bigger with wings
that flew by the front
and we
did not collide

Halcyon
It’s a beautiful day
Sometimes, I guess, that’s it
Outside
Everything allies to make it
Grand
Bright blue sky, punctuated with
Big balls of cloud
Yellow light is playing on
Green branches
The brown trunks look gussied up
For square dancing
With their partners
Once the night has fallen
And there are no humans watching
James Weldon Johnson might approve
It’s a day for Aesop
Or for Tolkien
Mary Oliver
Or Gerald May
Or anyone who has a porch
With chairs and a pitcher
Of the family favorite
(we won’t judge)
At night in June
There should be fireflies
And we’re allowed to watch them dance
While other things are secret
(see above)
