8.17.10 Tuesday's Color Swatch

P M S  N o. 1225

little sigh 
of summer yellow

you ease your soft head

onto our laps 

as we sit at the picnic

tables of august.

the monarchs on the

joe pie weed

have our eye so

we don't notice you

reaching your peek,

until your soft voice

clears it's throat

and trumpets orange
