DOG DAY LOVE







Dog days of summer when the indifferent moon

Makes its equation with the Dog Star. Like liquid

Moonbeams in a glass that fills the earth with

Silver up to its blue limits.



Heated times of the season, like grapes distilling the

Green bitterness out of the acidic earth, the hidden

Confused tears in those vines that the hot weather

Lays bear in the summer of dog day afternoons.



Yes, those seeds from the previous harvest crackle

And throb from the heat that ripens and burns, as

The fruit burned ripe from those sizzling tears.



The pre insipient fall gets ready for crumbling , where

The soul is weighed in the scales of Themis  and the

Wind blows so that all is made clean again.
