I Have News for You
by Susan Swope
I have news for you.
Tiger lily orange and cornflower blue on the roadside.
Strawberries sweet, red, and seductive.
Cherries bejewel the orchards.
Fireflies enchant the night.
Air wet, still, hot.
Indolent cats sleep outstretched.
Second nesting of the phoebes.
Saule pauses. Sun pauses. Sun is still. Saule is still. Solstice.
Saule pauses in her dance, turns, and glides slowly down the sky, pulling
summer behind her.
Season of fullness. This is my news.
