soft summer

.

            'twuz just az y'all 
                  imagined

       i hang mineself for such 
                 thuh think
                    in fact
                 more than
           a thousand timez
                 yet again 
               mine kneck
                   snaps

       "hern stood tall ('mong 
            thuh wild grass
              and flowerz)
              in thuh blue
                  scrim
                  frock
             in the sun's
                  path
           and i furtively 
          not far the cast
            hern shadow

        waiting with straw
          twixt her teeth
          waiting for her
               knight"

            She smilez
         Az 'neath mine
               plants
               speak
