Imagining Summer: A Poetic Journey

imagining my self lying down 
on the earth curve face down 
in the smell of grasses herbs and flowers 

there the blackbird 
couched on the dry earth 
silently opening and closing his beak 
spanning his wings 
sunning and preening 
watching the bees sucking sage 
the ants scurrying the red brick wall 
and clouds pulling over the sky
