eastern wall of clouds
made orange by summer sunset
heat ebbs with nightfall

—————

cloudy skies confirm
monsoons enter the valley
double digit day

—————

my grandfather's wife
treated me very kindly
when my grandmother died

14 July 2017

fresh fruit late at night
some chilled oranges from the fridge
summertime repast

—————

never meditate
and put water on the stove
screaming steam distracts

13 July 2017

flying through the sky
     birthday high
          on silver wings
piñatas below

traveling to wherever
birthdays always lay ahead
