2016/berries

Summer begins,
baskets of berries
3-deep in the frig,
black, blue and red.
I debate if it’s time
for the slipcover,
which casts a sleepy
mood in the room.
Encouraging reading
and naps.
Sun filtering through
the gauzy curtains,
fans swishing,
the porch swing chain
clicking
back and forth.
