Northwestern Summer Rain

March 16th, 2018


Suddenly I can smell the grass after a Northwestern summer rain.
Early afternoon, open window,
crisp golden air
the sunlight slanting over her shoulder
onto the pages of a book
as she reads, her mind in mystery
the floor is deep mahogany
a sense of permanency
a garden, a roof, a memory
of apple trees.
