another day

mountains tumble across the horizon twisting the last splinters of warmth through heavy hanging gray soup listless lifeless endless sigh dogs roll over mown grass clinking ice gentle laughter fluttering chimes cool breeze sweet pungent earth enlivens lungs ocean cracks spills sheets steams stainless barbeque sizzles fire pit douses tiki torches lettuce, tomatoes, chips condiments march back inside under the eaves gulping rare air until it freezes behind the window white pellets pelt big red umbrella guarding the feast burgers melting cheese buns toasting in formation lining the grate storm sweeps over collective gasp tables towel off wet dogs play music marries dinner mirth dancing flames lick black velvet Friday swells into sleep-in Saturday while weaver weaves another day
