walking with your back straight


is a segue out of the drizzle
it should all breakup by noon
     the rain that is

and then we'll be that much closer
to september
the month of decay & renewal

canada geese are stirring
     filling the void
wings take on poetry
like diminishing warm air currents

the avenue traffic is unusually loud today
school buses determined
with new drivers

a dove puffs up on the wire
starts a low cooing
blends in with raindrops on the roof

the drizzle may go on til tomorrow
