Leslie Philibert - Summer Rain

Summer before the air closes
down with heat
locked in a plastic suitcase

smelling of earth
the sky ready to darken
and break, apple split

the crash of an unhinged window
leaves in flight
the light lung grey

as ants in water and panic
heaven full of bolts and screws
now aware of loss.
