Untitled - July 10, 2002
The bright sunlight of July
filters through the windows,
broken only by the swaying
of the summer breeze
amongst the trees.
The low hum that fills the background
is loud against the silence
that is the outside world;
intersected by
the dull roar of cars
in the distance.
The searing heat
that filled the week
has given way
to a cooler clime
that lets us enjoy the sun
without melting away.
The wind picks up
and the outdoors beckon
for an afternoon
of dozing in the sun,
until the evening shadows
cast their way
across the heated surface.
