summer nights last forever
six p.m. stained with auburns, indigos
ivory clouds cast shadow puppets
as we search familiarity in the unknown
trees freckle midwest expanses
their solid trunks stand single
longing for a partner that seems to remain
on the alabaster moon
creeks gurgle over granites and slates
clear water swirls and churns clay
tadpoles revel in deep pockets of streams
insulators drown, waiting for an unknown
a modern artifact from an obsolete age
storms sob over a summer scene
pulsating entropy
wakes the gone quiet landscape
