The Stillness of the Summer Solstice

 

I picked a few plums in the summer heat

Some withered apples in the summer heat

A bouquet of zinnias in the summer heat

The figs still green in the summer heat

 

I gathered blueberries in the summer heat

I dragged water hoses in the summer heat

I mowed the lawns in the summer heat

I fed the hummingbirds in the summer heat

 

Summer is the season that seems to stand still

And I don’t
