summer creatures
summer
creatures
bite
and mean no harm
but simply are
all their will's to be
much lit the days now
skin's all seen
there is a certain shimmer mist
of rain gone
struck with gold
how quickly flesh is off the bone
a desert has driven the drought
sear tin
and fry the hide
hear saws, cicadas
it smells of blood, fresh paint
and tastes of fire
summer itches among seasons
hide evening under beer or three
now everyone is king of ease
feet up in a truce
say holiday
and some days harsh
fever and pitch
so many minutes till
somewhere when
summer goes spare
and we with it
too many hours
days, months
it sweats
calls bodies each to each
with whiff
and pharaoh's moan
it is a doddle swim
to make the most
firstly lastly
aching are
in all our works to see
blowfly's in
just saying
and this one
thinks it's March
give chase
and then come to a heap
we mean no harm
but simply are
we summer creatures
bite
am starting to feel
