Summer Heat Wave
sun-kissed briars droop
summer blisters scar grey twigs
cypress leaves ooze sweat
nightjars scoop dry ice

homing pigeon’s drought

then, a worldwide hush-
as nightjars sing a dirge of the universe. ~...

Warmth grows from the dense cold mist
Call of nightjars disguise the isolation

Papilio emerge from the rain as the first rain falls
Droplets on the butterfly’s wings reflect turquoise hue
A snail takes refuge under a fresh fallen leave
It crawls on my diary leaving a trail of the first rainfall...
