Indian Summer
slips through the haze. Sudden
breath on my cool face;
the flush of warmth bewilders,
swallows linger in brittle reeds.
Shadows dance as light dwindles.
Teasing sighs, a kiss before
we tango with a flurry of lime
and copper across appliqued lawns.
East wind blasts, a spangled rime
surrendering to brume.
------------------------------------
Indian summer
veiled in mist
swirls rushing back -
a breath on my cool cheek.
Gushing warmth beguiles.
Swallows linger
in brittle reeds.
As daylight dwindles,
even shadows dance away;
lips are teased
by sizzling kisses.
We waltz in a whirlwind
of copper and lime
foliage flurrying across
baked terrain.
East wind blasts
a spangled rime -
vaporizing into brume.
