first of July comes and goes

still waiting

searching for you in rain that drops like glitter

from clouds kissing apple orchards

such kisses I daydream of gifting you

even when a disbelieving friend begs a halt

in reply I beg to differ

taint not limitless passion with the bitterish taste of unfaithful fruit

see who comes through dawn’s cooling shadows beneath boughs’ heavy ripening redness
