presence

These evenings: concerts, movies, friends
open beach, live oaks, flowers spilling
bells with no alarms

the cherry tree dropping shade to make 
a room, bowing to the fullness 
and newness of moons

the rain and incense of the morning
to awaken with earnest relief 
to know--it's still summer
 
though should you let the faucet run 
long enough, a revolutionary 
shock of cold water 

pulled well from deep inside earth
--as if from memory, reminds you 
of the tablet of days

the year's cool capsule of seasons
 ricocheting, recalling summer
as late, luminous laughter

Pic: From the A$AP Rocky concert, live helicopter and all, 7/8 in Detroit. 
I had to cram the setlist the day of, because I wasn't familiar with most of his work.
