C’mon, June! Bring on your romance,
bring on your moon. Haul in those long
summer days. Settle us into the green
of things, into the barefoot warmth.
Give us the whir of hummingbird wings,
the flutter of leaves in an evening breeze,
the crack of a bat hitting a ball, clear nights
and starry skies. Bring on your leisure,
bring on your ease. Stretch us out
in your mellow. C’mon June. Bring it!
