This Day Positions Itself
On The Far Off Hills; That Cast
Their Shadows Into The Lake,
Where Near Bare Boddies
Splash Life Giving, Crystal Waters.
Summer Has Let Them Out To Play
Amid The Heat Of A Golden Ray.
Damp Towels Hang On Bushes
Like Earthbound, Coloured Clouds,
And Sandwiches Curl
In Unforgiving Sunshine Shrouds.
But Soon
The Shadows
Will Lengthen,
Tired Bathers
Will Wend Their Way
Along Forest Paths,
Where Light
Now Sits
Under A Lampshade
Of A New,
Warm-Orange Evening.
