Summer

New Guinea Summer

i at the swimming pool e jungle stands aside, i at the swimming pool e water’s cool and wide, little fishes one inch long y in a one-inch tide. i at the swimming pool e water laughs along, in the shadows, d where sunlight’s strong, pink and white begonias ow where they belong. °’s gold in the river, the wise hands say, in the river, we heard today, please do not mention it — might get in the way!
