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.
