Late summer
and the light is white.
Flycatcher singing in the whiteness of the light.
Bending the branches that have hardened in the haze.
Chasing the insects going in an out of phase.
Late summer
digging socks again.
Vine green curtain hanging loosely in the wind.
Picking the grapes up as they split upon the ground.
Winding the tapes up that were melted and unwound.
You people
Don't know who I am:
Gallium thriving for a moment in the sand.
Late summer
counting fish again.
Stretching the ruler from opercle to the fin.
Put all the faces that you know inside a jar.
Clean up the wet lab and walk down into the bar.
And go on home.
