Giselle Maya: Summer Breeze

.

at noon

it rises out of thin air

and glides

from afar

into the garden

.

through the valley wind sifts pollen

from the vessels of daylilies

and ruffles the cat’s tigered fur

white roses sigh near yellow evening primroses

corn leaves tremble and grow by leaps and bounds

zucchini blossoms of orange-yellow

cradle within green

.

where

does the glaucous

summer breeze

come from

where will it go

.

beans with white and violet blossoms tousled by wind’s fingertips

bow again and again how do they spin tiny beans out of blossoms

.

the tall borage with prickly leaves etches blue stars

the rose called ‘Joseph’s Coat’ is painted in shades

from lemon to wine-red

the feathers of nightingales are brushed

they lift their voices

in the high willow

.

in a hammock

the gardener closes her eyes

soothed

after sifting dark earth

to nourish growing plants

.

blue-green silk

noon wind

ripples water

content

to be alive

.
