Midsummer reverie
lavender misted blanket on clover patch sunscreen-slathered skin soaking midsummer sun wilting flower heart (daisies, asters, dandelion, comfrey, thistle, geranium, and so many colors of grass, reminds me... Ohio—here is also beautiful) midriff sigil—I am loved, I am enough sweat and sun-love mingle, wildflower brew (lavender for calming and perfume!) longest day rest after planting before harvest white-hot eyelids (shades next time) wandering ant investigates heat-tightened, plant-prickled skin I am... monkey-mind skittering for trees I should be doing... shaken out I deserve this between earth and fire my thoughts are lava repose Apollo stretches to his fullest height the air like breath this close to ground no freshening breeze I bake my intention— I am loved I am enough I can rest —into this body of Me and hope it will remain (this is the longest day) to be fully, mind and spirit, assimilated
