Red Sunflowers

A red-billed sparrow in syncopation with July evening rain. Drops heavy visible all the way down. Mosquitoes buzzing around my forearm. Ragged pick-ups thudding by. The dull clang and soundwave of trains conecting along the river below. Morning glories asleep till daybreak. Sleepy shadowed porch. Swing chair creaking. Summer clarity, idyllic southern evening. Mill turning with a stream's flow, kitten pensive, timid in the ankle-high grass.
