"Everyday in every way I’m getting better and better" - Emile Coue
summer
my balcony of zinnias-
blooming pink, red and tangerine
an empty nest
amidst the birdsongs, i scatter the sun
flower seeds

from seed, you grew tall
orange cupcake flower
i wanted you to bloom forever
but summer's end is here
[pause]
spin me out of summer blues
as flowers turn deep sun-blood
slow decay by wind chill-
dying/dyeing
ink, garden these verses
[within me]
she should be crabby
over narrow space,
heat & falling bed
but robin sits
claiming her space,
brooding in silence
awaiting eggs to hatch
come rain or strong wind-
ignoring nosy neighbors-
her eyes steady as sun
casting softest of light
on blooming zinnias
