Here's my newest version of Indigo Summer—links to both old ones at the end.
Summer suburban scene, Glenellen Drive
Soft morning sounds, lilac following night's gentle rain
colors whisper like this new July day
slowly slips into a calmly quiet world
Breakfast on the deck
over the camel-dry
parched ground under the deck
surrounded by lightly rainladen trees' leaves
longing for cloudbursts
Tame tacos make our lunch at the restaurant on
Main Street, with cerulean celadon blazing
dazzling brights glancing off windows of the
house at the end of the street at the
rim of the park
in vividly urban attitudinal edge
under clear skies and hot sun
Then later, another humid night, filled with yearning
music, restless talk
And while night begins fading, dawn's birdsongs and emerging day's sunglow
Scene at the beach
hot sand, sparkling sand
wet sand and breaking waves
Followed by another desperate, white and hopeless silent night
longing for tomorrow's dawn
still waiting in hope for hope
