Because It's Still Summer

jo'b     


It's not too late.



Light from the low sun

like a sheet of honey over the fields.



A swarm of dragonflies

hunting over the yard,

after mowing, in the silence,

the rattle and glint of wings.



The feast continues.



We touch each other

to prove we are still here.



Tell me it's not too late.
