A Summer Poem Poem by Leslie Philibert

A Summer Poem

Rating: 4.6


You are the burnt map of Summer
black-edged with lost words
that make the heat a blanket

full of stale-wind sweat,
lips dripping warm syllables
caught between dead smiles;

the first rain so distant,
drought turning into itself;
you walked away over brown grass,

the Spanish grass.
