Yellowed Summers
In Florida

In the kitchen, months of January,
months of December enter my Julys.
A pineapple rings home.

A disposition of oranges
nests among the ferns as they awaken, 
yawning as the green dew 
dries up the night. 

Lightning divided the afternoon yesterday.

A white plate in the sink shows
residues of skin. ​
