Ambiguity in Summer

 

Ambiguity in Summer rides a different breeze

than it is prone to fly in other seasons --
as it undergoes fleet shadows, blatant beats
of heat, and unapologetic angles of the light

which generate unreasonable generosity: to dare

to reach for, eat the peaches that the Sun has
undertaken to incite into voluptuous exactitude would
seem completely to reject ephemera and subtlety –

and yet we sit in each translucent coolness

we can grab, the ever-hesitating you and me,
inhabiting our comfortably sweet uncertainty.
We will not give it up. In our way, we live it up.
