Shy Salience in Summer Transience
by Giancarlo N. H. Gonzaga
Suppose one silvered summer, bright as day
Saw sunlit fields in roll, verdance aglow
Snails in crawl and reedy cattails in sway
Stony shores, on which skittered spindly doe
Swift and slick, she skipped and fled as shadow
Shimmering on, but for a fleet moment
Solemn, sunny lakes swathed in willow
Surmounting brambles and thorns as she went
Soon sped away to be dark and unseen
Sorrow swamps forced nimrod, brand’shing arb’lest
Shrieking at such shirking, swept with chagrin
Shed shouldered pelts o’ ‘thers, beauty unblest
Summer came, why so soon did summer go
Stranger, friend, faux stranger; doe’s bridge aglow
