Renga: Summer
Here is the renga so far. I think it has a couple more rounds in it:Renga: Summer
A hot wind jostles
Dry wheat from its summer sleep
Sweat slides down my cheek [CG]
or are these tears? I have dreamt
a body turned green to gold [LB]
I have yet to lose
a body weary of heat
but losing comes in fast blows
to my consciousness [KT]
yearning for the sleep of fall [LK]
I enter the field
Merging with the golden wheat
One being, one self [CG]
Sorry I got so freaking Zen on the last stanza.

String theory
There's a certain quality of light in the kitchenAt eleven a.m. on a mid-summer morning
That makes me wish my mother and father
Were still alive.
We could sit and drink coffee while the light
Plays out glossy gray over the walnut table,
Their hands would be old and wrinkled now,
And their hair completely white.
We could talk about what my life would be like
If either of them had died when I was so young--
If they weren't here to drink coffee with me
And watch me wonder at the quality of light.
But I know what that's like.
I drink my coffee alone while the late morning
Light shimmers, iridescent, over its surface
