chasing shadows

Afternoon shadows chase the sun
lazy forms dance on turquoise walls
 
Ragged palms softly shake their heads
a tropical breeze born on glistening threads

Smells of supper simmering slow
filtering out a window screen door
 
August breathes her memories worn
as lacy webs weave thoughts of home
 
Boca Chica stretches out and sighs
beneath an azure palm raked sky
