Heavy tropical air,
lightning bugs flashing
on the shortest night.
Scent of honeysuckle, pine,
and distant rain, and the
fat white moon glowing
like a promise.
Color of Life
It's the color of change, of metamorphosis.
Wherever you see it, something is
pulsing with life, with growth, upheaval.
Verdant fields, sprouting and bearing.
Eerie storm skies, clouds like old bruises.
The Gulf teeming with seaweed and sharks.
Gilded emerald of a peacock's mating display
(like a human male flashing a wad of cash).
Verdigris of metal, earth turning to air.
Silvered pine needles smelling of rain.
My own eyes, changing reflections
with my clothes, but always some shade
of green.
