Son's hanging pot of summer plants
IN COMES SEPTEMBER
Quiet--
inside and out,
cloudy, rainy, humid.
Early September; seasonal
changes.
Quiet
disturbed by sounds
of rain on gardenia
leaves outside the open window:
darkness.

A BATTLE
The fly
and I fighting:
it has speed & I have
a plastic, floppy flyswatter.
Fly wins.

Cooler
outside than in
this fifth of September,
even in the sun on the swing.
Quiet.
