amidst summer green
standing out like a sore thumb
don’t mourn for this corpse
life continues long after death
a refuge and source of food

amidst summer green
standing out like a sore thumb
don’t mourn for this corpse
life continues long after death
a refuge and source of food

footfalls receding
leaving behind the stillness
and the steps I take

sticky summer day
no breeze to offset the heat
seems cooler up there

picture can’t describe
the aroma arising
humble beginning

edge of summer heat
rising softened overnight
sticky air remains
