a hot wind wanting

Change comes in July

a hot wind wanting

routed by devout purpose

carrying on savagely until

in the night your heart goes roaming


do not be distracted by redemption

do not expect any notice,

the only tender

to your own ache, that beckoning star

the slow manifest.


let progress

be measured by stillness,

in the way you stop now

to listen for the birds

August comes, in time


Let summer finish her work
