Summer's End

  

I.

perfection is

apron and aches

stirring boiling blackberries

baby underfoot spouting jibberish

teen texting from class

as a summer storm

blows in

II.

separating two halves

reveals nature’s Velcro

the peach pit

III.

panting all day

while shadows switch direction

finally it is

time for our walk

stroller

leash

each other

loud state street

quiet steps

past busy exhaling dryer vents

Yep, took that photo on my iphone. Best camera I ever had.
