I don't know how
copper turns to dust
must be a condition
of summer fade--
Settle amidst the green
the flora's different
every flavor--
Let it float over you
and take you higher.

I love that line: copper turns to dust!
ReplyDeleteI'm also enthralled by the positioning of the words: flora...flavor...float.. They work so well in near proximity. Lovely work, Marian.
Very beautiful, kiddo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I too like the line "copper turns to dust"
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of something floating over me and taking me higher. I like thinking that is possible.

I love that.
I really love your poem but even more I love how well your title suits it!! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI think I've been treated for that condition...this is very light, and dusted with a feeling of time passing too fast to quite catch, leaving a little coppery residue behind to tease. I wish I could say so much in so few words. It's a gift I greatly admire.
