oklahoma summer dusk



nights when
summer echoes
through trees
locusts dreaming
out loud

fireflies twinkle
between
drunken promises
like dew drops
sun catching
the dawn

deep earth
rolled in sheets
beneath
blades of grass
unnumbered
like stars of heaven

breath leaks out

    You have a gift for poetry. I love the phrase "summer echoes through trees."
