MIDSUMMER

summer came 

in her robe of light

and sprinkled the earth

with flowers.

we've found ourselves

in a deserted city,

with most people headed 

to their summer cottages 

for midsummer.

I think we'll pack the car

with picnic stuff

& take a little road trip.

I'm yearning to see 

the sparkling sea

& pick (at least) those seven flowers

to slip under the pillow.

it's warm,

nature's bursting at its seams,

and in summer, 

the song sings itself,

as Mr William Carlos Williams says. 

Happy Midsummer!
