| Summer Breath (woman) For A.D. Can you smell summer's sweet breath as lilac buds, blossom and spread- streaming in the wind? Purple passions, driven down deep where heavy grey frost once lay, melted nectar flowing, green stems growing, her curved leaves dance for the smiling sun as she unfolds under streams of yellow, ripened, she frees a delicate scent in summer's sweet breath, floats along the breeze and calls herself woman. |
