audubon park


my roots soaked in soil
under the loose marsh and the moon
'neath a symphony of singing toads
an empty bottle night in june

memory tiles the mosaic mind
scent of earth and wood and stone
the worship of a summer night
flowered fragrance of my home

the now becomes a memory
night rushes into day
hold my eyes open, ward off sleep
and keep the future at bay
