Halcyon Day MAG
sweet summer air
sunshine-dappled leaves
hang off withered, peeling bark
Michelangelo clouds
painted across a pristine blue canvas
stretched out to reach the horizon
where the flimsy ends of foliage,
held in place by obstinate roots,
meet pallid gray mist.
expansive houses line the streets
each with its own singularity
yet one and the same in their purpose.
tastefully modest displays of opulence
glistening cars and gleaming windows
belied by sweeping, lush farmland
linear rows of twisted vines
austere in their calculated precision
house grapes-to-be, wines-in-waiting
hidden fruit imbued with anticipation
for Autumn to come breezing by
with her palette of rich, earthy tones
displaced brown leaves, crimson apples
perched precariously upon feeble branches
so easily snapped by awaiting hands.
