July
JULY
childhood's month
stretched out like a cat or
sunbeam languid, endless
warming the long winter of life
how you would read for hours
in the crook of a gum tree, swim
in a pool's blue till your lips were,
search for stick bugs or katydids
you could hear but never find, slips
like cat and sunbeam into time’s
capricious rush, into August, into
memory
