high summer

grass high and dry and
             seeded as wheat
tips too close for focus
belly on the blanket beside it

a bowl of blueberries,
almost gone

the rain pretends to come
but no one cares
not even the cat

written july 31 — lughnasadh — feast of the grain harvest

  3. A perfect snapshot of the impending change of season. I can almost smell that threatening rain.

    A fine marking of the passing of lughnasadh.
