Sun rises later
Two months after the solstice.
Autumn arrives soon.

25 August 2011

Heat hangs in the air,
Almost tangibly. No one
Is willing to move.

A red fox trotting

Across the field, looking good
In the morning sun.

Here, a young woman,
Alone, head bowed, by her bed,
Early that morning.

(After reading about, and seeing,
Edward Hopper's "Summer Interior"

A dimly lit room.
Reading late into the night.
Outside, the wind howls.

It's long past midnight.
Courtyard, beneath a balcony.
They speak; we eavesdrop.

(Written after watching a video of the courtyard scene in Romeo and Juliet)

Sky dark as midnight...
Five minutes ago, bright sun...
And now, pouring rain.
