summer rhythm
tiredness engulfs
while the sky leans toward gray
I’m looking to develop a summer rhythm
therefore not permanent
early to rise, not late to bed
investigate the neighborhood’s blooms
practice peace
pray for health and freedom from what consumes
take a walk, read a book
land
like a butterfly, therefore lightly
until summer yields and all is spent
then I’ll return to my usual pattern
the grind of normalcy
unless I find a way to make this joyful alternative
exist long term
and truly, why not?
