Sleep the Summer Away
in my sleep,
Summer will slip
through my fingers, inflamed
red knuckles, like sunlight
in a canopy of clouds overhead
The fields will ripen with reclamation
Fields of flowers will falter unto
uncontrolled unconsciousness,
as the wind wanders one way, only
There will be no rain, yet
no sun either.

There’s something haunting about this, something that makes me want to keep thinking about it. What a fine poem to elicit that.
Reminds of those summer days where it seems like sleep is the only answer. I feel this.
Beautiful transitions
