It’s summer time.

I can’t bear the heat.

You’re the ice cubes....

Just to dive in,

Lose track of time,

Oneself....

You look fresh.

Thanks, you too!

But it’s time to be picked....

Parts of me are old.

Others bent,

Out of place,...

Wash over me…

Sing.

Splash....

Narrow, yet there’s light.

I can see the end.

Shall I walk?...

Man-made:

Planned.

Developed....

Soar,

Be free,

Alone,...

You – “Why did you explode?”

Me – “So you could see me.”

You – “But half of you is empty!”...

Today I look at you.

No one else.

Life seems hazy,...

Alone.

Majestic.

Casting shadows,...

Today,

The window finally opened.

A barely perceptible face....

Hazy.

Yet glittering,

Bright....

His kumquats aren’t as plentiful this year.

But they’re still there.

His days are waning,...

Orange fades to grey,

Grey to darkness,

Darkness to peace....

Hot summer days.

Deserted streets.

Home,...

A small piece of heaven…

Arid.

Hot....

Sometimes,

Tears fall.

For no reason at all. ...

What are you doing 209?

Watching over you.

Why? ...

Nature flows.

I try as well.

But there are days...
