The sky was everywhere
Escape could not be had
Emergency shelters were
Closed on just another day
In a long week of days
Determined to end summer’s
Wistful afternoon reveries
Please pick the apples
Before Eden’s gate closes
With insufficient notice
And undue finality

The washing flutters
In blue sky immensity
Sail boats race the bay

Night rises from the bay
Hasten’s the moon’s descent
Into the calm Salish Sea
Islands mirror the light

I wonder if Schopenhauer would
Have embraced jazz with its
Roots in American slavery
And his wondrous belief in
Music seeking the soul
Not the intellect

Love comes quietly
Absconds with your heart
Before careful words
Defend the walls
Creatively built
To prevent breaches
Overwhelmed today
By a simple look
Across the room
