Kit Kelen #1069 - summer creatures


1069
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
