My Summer Vacation

Is today the day to rise above
the wind to a windless forever?

They say the shadow of forever
is long and dark and incurable.

Maybe I’ll wise up before I float above
autumn blaze maple and honey locust

and the tattered gray clouds
that decline to come when I call.

Maybe I’ll stay put, anchored to
the mossy red brick of my familiar

patio, consort with chipmunk and
chickadee, thrive in the tender
shade of the sugarberry tree.
