August Trance

Watching the clouds at dusk
   and the deer in flight. . .
      I wait for these beauties to cross.

The hue of the sky
   morphs from ebony ~ scores navy blue;
       headrests of angels tucked away.

Camry headlights illuminate
   the warm-green of oak and moss;
        unsettled as the shadows shift.

The floodlights hover
   over the blue mountain poly-tarp
      with potential nightlife.

Exciting the thrill
   of heightened landscape — friends
       of the sun, strangers at midnight.

Diversely the ho hum
   of security, under the lamplight. . .
        in front of the smart t.v.

nevertheless
August trance of romance the images framed — God of fame, gifted them. 8/7/2019

Nothing like that startling feeling the moment you first see the deer, especially if (you are) caught unawares. Lovely penned, Kim. Wondrous. ~ gw
