Summer Swallowed
Summer I suppose,
wandered away with a miss
the hibiscus and trumpet blew
with wistful wind
yet here, at the tail end of that tale
I emerge...
Torn away alone
in blinks of tornadoes
shore the signs bastion bards
for I found
You were there, and You, and You
sweep away this sticky sweet
swollen in rapid succession
the drift upon the air wafts
with cool near, drought behind
was once bottomed barrel
drown, as sad a rat
swimming, not so, knot so
very fast
wide-eyed and pale
poured upon, flat
the wheels of the bus
go round and round
here and now
once again
from one age to another
we culled
we may
This is where You say
yep, we've heard it all
as Summer fades
black and blackened, night
my morning comes
blood on the stone
earth to the tongue
I know You
then, there
I feel You now
hung upon the breastplate
dangled from the bone
my eyes dry by the wind
leaves turn begins
bray
the fire will burn
inside
the hint remembrance
of Summer day
wandered away with a miss
the hibiscus and trumpet blew
with wistful wind
yet here, at the tail end of that tale
I emerge...
Torn away alone
in blinks of tornadoes
shore the signs bastion bards
for I found
You were there, and You, and You
sweep away this sticky sweet
swollen in rapid succession
the drift upon the air wafts
with cool near, drought behind
was once bottomed barrel
drown, as sad a rat
swimming, not so, knot so
very fast
wide-eyed and pale
poured upon, flat
the wheels of the bus
go round and round
here and now

bray
the fire will burn

Late to the comp. is what it is...the feel of what was a long blink and missed...so fitting that the comp was missed as well...Apologies

Ah, bigger Kiddo. The sound of your guitar is unmistakable.
That fifth stanza is just gorgeous. Very much reminds me of the style of Donald Hall. Rich and deft.
I know you
then, there
I feel you now.
Lingers on the tongue long after I’d finished reading. So grateful and relieved to see you back here. Welcome home. 😊

So glad/Honored t o be here,
Honored to have Your visit and kindness.
That tune was one of those summer tunes, twas the only reason, I figured fitting...and well that's the only other voice I use other than pen or key .
Appreciate the RL Tremendously ...having fun poking about at random at the 'ol homestead...outdoors again in another beloved way :)

You're a Good Man Jazz!!!
Good to see You My Friend-One of my fave spots that little town.
I'm roughly 35 mins drive from there, so it's a staple jaunt for good food and walking about.
There are a few good points for artists of all kinds, craftsmen, musicians etc.
Tourist season gets strange, but either sadly or good...the tourists don't flock there as they once did.
People forget or never learn.
Be good to Yourself!!!

Really Appreciate You checking this out Josh.
Bad recording, but I just throw ideas on real quick so I can double back and flesh out the tunes at later times....more or less-treat it like a glorified boom box.
I have pedals and proper recording tech, yet the time to truly set things up annoys the hell out of me.
By the time doing such an action, the feel of a moment can disappear...setting up way in advance would be ideal....rarely happens these days.
Again, Appreciate Your kind words and time!!!

Thank You for Your time/care and energy Melia.
Truly I missed a great deal of summer.
I am a June baby, so missing out on summer is a bit against the grain for myself.
Those pics were during mid-summer a cpl yrs ago, exactly as You say, people/places, connecting ...it was a stroll truly missed

You say you miss..yet You were are & ever there..relishing cherishing the each Now of the Eternity, this long blink ..of a firing flaming spirited Summer ...I lov the jubilance the hope the flame that you visualize & burn ..amdst all the spacetime adjacencies of darkened blackened drought dry n chilling thoughts feels zones more...i always have loved your raw emotions & elegance... all with the classy poetics you present in emphasizing economy of verses...I esp. loved this stanza in your gripping tightened delivery all across..
This is where You say
yep, we've heard it all
as Summer fades
black and blackened, night
my morning comes
blood on the stone
earth to the tongue
I know You
then, there
I feel You now
hung upon the breastplate
dangled from the bone
Soul you were missed & here You are there ..to Art . Art on Dear Poet!
