the skin triumphs
when in a flash all clothes vanish –
in summer private balconies are priceless
June 30th
June darkness?
in the month of bluest sky
the sun never seems to set
June 21st
it’s June; the longest day of year;
peaches melt into my mouth;
sun-soaked is the porch
June 20th
thermometer on high,
dog barks and wakes me up;
looking outside – shades have spread wide
June 19th
tree branch – heavy leaves –
collapses in my feet –
soft thud, scattered buds
June 18th
burning sun, heated rays,
and the flames of carmine roses,
bare back and drips of sweat
June 17th
searching for the paper fan,
shaking off the dust –
swinging the haze around
