2022.08.08: surprised

dawn fog, Aug ‘22

walking at sunrise 
mist rising in late summer 
making footsteps light

2022.07.26: late bloomers

crepe myrtle, Jul ‘22

when some are wilting
some are just starting to bud
beauty in due time

2022.07.21: arising

walking up a hill 
morning light rising with us 
the heat - palpable 

2022.06.23: sweltering

weather vane, Jun ‘22

stagnant this morning
rising to begin the day
the heat of summer

2021.09.14: last call

Neotibicen superbus

rising crescendo
the choir of cicadas sings
ode to late summer
