she wants a diamond
and new cleats

another summer
infatuation
orange daylilies
[July 30, 2005]
fasting for a blood test —
the phlebotomist
puts down his doughnut
cute receptionist —
handing her
a Medicare card
[July 29, 2005]
cooler after the storm —
a smile from
the neighborhood scold
[July 28, 2005]
one more
razor nick —
she kisses the whiskered cat

the hardhats grieve over
lukewarm coffee

we hear
the clouds float by

the moon
closer than you

open window —
summer breeze
blows right by
a lot less humid
choosing
the sunny side of the street

the weatherman
explains dew points again

why do I always
start here?

sultry Sunday
freezer pops and

a cartful

rush-hour red light —
every car but ours
airconditioned

just past sunset —
faded daylilies
more orange than before
[July 14, 2005]
the gull we shooed —
watching and
watching its flight
[July 13, 2005]
tawny
crescent moon –
the curve of her tan line
[July 12, 2005]
an oak shades
the newly-waxed Saab —
sparrow scores a bull’s-eye
[July 11, 2005]
Sunday dawn —
yawning
all the way back to bed
[July 10, 2005]
sudden downpour
wet t-shirts
show much too much

summer laundry —
the colors pile
half the size of the whites

not until we’re married!
he invokes
the kissing loophole
just as much fun
with our dentures out
his pop-fly
kisses the moon —
heading to second
the bedroom spider
gets clemency —
not the mosquito
[July 6, 2005]
parked on the shoulder
in a driving rain —
our flashers dim
[July 5, 2005]

in the crowd
one dog wimphers, one howls

breakfast alone
a cricket
in the kitchen
double-play:
baseball and fireworks
called on account of rain
[July 2, 2005]
July downpour —
a tiny dry patch
on the porch
lightning storm —
the constant flashing
of digital clocks
[July 1, 2005]
