A little something I composed and premiered Friday, June 21 Poetry Pour Over at The Proving Grounds Coffee and Ice Cream on Main Street in Milford, Mi.

A moment in time.

In a clearing of trees

open to the sky,

circling like the rings of Saturn

set upon a Tilt-a-Whirl.

Sun of gold

makes brilliant

leaves of green.

The first day of summer.

I gladly shade my eyes,

and watch the silent spiral

of vultures and butterflies.
