A Summer Vision - Hannah Arnold
Tulips leap from bulbs
Tender stalks uphold cups of
sweet red wine—a toast!
--
Turtles assemble
‘round a mossy mirror—chins up,
in worship of warmth

Vines drooping heavy with frost

--
Midsummer sky, cut
by the cry of a heartsick
hawk circling, circling
Tender stalks uphold cups of
sweet red wine—a toast!

‘round a mossy mirror—chins up,
in worship of warmth

Golden haze, long days
Vines drooping heavy with frost
-ed purple dewdrops

Midsummer sky, cut
by the cry of a heartsick
hawk circling, circling
