I spied a sleek young deer today,

reveled in the vigor of its long, long legs

propelling it across the fairway

washer chimes the end of the load

fresh laundry for the line

westerly breeze refreshes all palates

you begin to shimmer

and I pray your chrysalis

might intertwine with mine

linden tree venue

greenery and birdsong

summer concert

bright sunny skies

coo of mourning doves

the incongruity of summer
