Summer

Meadow laze
Honey breeze
Heat haze
Busy bees.
Sunrays reach down to the reptilian brain.
With a languid stretch soak up the warmth
like a cold blooded creature craving a heat fix.
Immobilized by the surge that sends smells of
hay, clover, and wild rose into your canopy;
taste the sweet end of a grass stalk
and wonder when the pollen mist
will move you into another season
