IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE THE SUMMER COMES-Poem  [F, 5-28-21]

[From my poetry journal of 4-18-21]

 

If I should die

before the summer comes

I shall not feel regret

I have summer memories

enough to take

wher’er I go

A dragonfly

A watchful crow

A hollyhock

in ancient clothes

A laughing boy

A running girl

A book where velvet

 rabbits stir

a glass of lemonade

A dusty road

that leads me home
