Late summer
The sun flares with light
The back yard full of deep shade
and bright sun together
Air is still cool, fresh
Exhaust fumes trickle
to the bback yard air.
Sour and alien.
Far away, distant
Cars roar on the road
Distant thunder in the ground
in the air.
Dew thick and heavy on green grass.
Shoot colours
yellow, red and brilliant blue.
*
I water my bonsais
those precious little sanity bearers.
The day of insane strife begins.
