Poem: Sweltering Summer Blues
The refrigerator moans its
Last breath in the heat
Energy saved
Frigidaire feast
Achilles melt down
Tennis interrupted
Compounded by wrist fracture
PT, OC Blues
The shock early morning
Steve's Heart Attack
Hospital New Bern
Becomes home
My Birthday present
His Solstice return
His wellness of being
My twenty year
Dear Maggie cat
We watch her leave our world
Tears, soul searching screams
I let go
Bury her by Lady Banks roses
Computer dead
Find one Toshiba new
Connected again
Clown mobile on one leg
Putt-putt grumble
How far can she go
I don't want to know
Oh sweltering summer,
You used to be my favorite season!
I will hang tight
Fight fierce as any pirate
Ghost walking through
This town of old
The nagging actress
Clawing to come out
Shining in Summer Bliss!
