A February's Daydream
     
               a summer's dusk;
               hazy, dreamy;
               too soon for sleeping;
               hot and steamy.
               blue-grey purple;
               horizon-distant black clouds creeping.
               pearl explosions;
               lightning nearing;
               soft breeze heading;
               new leaves cheering.
               barefoot warm
               ivory bullets on blacktop spreading.
