August
The full blackberry rich upon heavy-hanging vine,
Tart and sweetness unrivaled, bursts as you bite.
Butterflies to chase by cats and dogs
And little girls in yellow dresses.
Boys' mischief, green frog legs jumping away.
The slow time specialty of summer,
Sunlight spilling around you before the rain of evening cricket song.
Your grandmother's voice: crystalline wind chimes upon the air.
