arose as medicine

       
been ninety plus degrees      
this first stretch        
from Julius under high Helios          
         
last night's summer storm started        
and ended in fifteen minutes        
         
now the hammock out back      
beside the forsythia bush        
swings pleasantly in less density      
     
we've been up since five        
conversing over coffee        
with daybreak's burden        
         
by ten we're dug into the third Obsidian Stout        
on the morning of the world's bastard son's        
day given to the remembrance of independence        
         
and i remember          
         
when the light of day seemed so trivial          
even though that's where life happened     
and dreaming was too easy to get anywhere anyway        
so let's toast and rest and know we're peaking now        
         
and soon come Augustus of the westernly      
best to get right with the elusive bright      
that has me wipe eyelid away from riddance      
as the crucible converts glare into clarity
