The Glass Hand Posted on July 19, 2013 by acupofsongwriting Reply Water swells and summer grass Sand upon the evening glass The contrast of light on dark Upon the sky a velvet spark A small haze of grey from cars and trucks Full in the sky a lagoon A muck Creating and burning a sunset so sweet But the sweetness is no real treat It burns through smoke created For all the bustling intimidated Water gelling lapping on concrete hard White peers waltzing on summer’s fluid Trees lurk over houses full Of human And dog And cat Running around on the grass flat In circles splashing on summer lawns Fences full of splendor and hate Making other wait For a calling or a sweat drop Around the corner the fruit shop Building concrete burning in summer sun Construction men counting seconds Until they are done Trains passing and divulging whistles Upon the hills of southern Michigan They pass with coal burning bright Flashing lights on this summer night The whistles whilst me to sleep As the my eyes fall And summer creeks A summer day in this land My thoughts fall through the glass hand Share this: Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Like Loading...
