July Afternoon
“I can hire someone to clean the house, or mow the lawn,
but if I don’t take my own nap, who will do it for me?” Quilting Pam
A brilliant red butterfly pulls
my granddaughter back
and forth in the side yard.
Losing interest,
the black tufted cat pads across the roof,
vanishing into sandpaper sky.
I am lost in the blossom of mid-day,
yellow grass beneath my head,
flat and dry as pavement,
presumptions roses reaching
ever outward – trellis to gutter
and then only warm air.
Removing the penknife from my pocket
I carve a hole in the afternoon,
and crawl inside.
