Summer Cold

dim and dismal green
disconnected from the sun
waiting on the rain

the leaves dull-humid
still-standing, no breeze blowing
expectant of drench

a relief of burns
the Summer cold to the touch
an austere old thing

the tinkling droplets
chime whirligigs with fancy
those cool snowy clouds

puddles with bare feet
the steam escapes the pavement
white sandals in hand
