Oh the lacy light of summer
favorite and best slanting across
early in the morning and if one
sleeps too late lolls awake fails to take
oneself (one’s dogs) out in the
world of it soon enough
well then it’s another thing
and one has missed that thing
but then there’s this and on and on
that goes for everyone knows
the world keeps turning
all things change
moment to moment
for better or worse
’til death do us part
and then who knows
maybe
after that as well.
