Sweet Summer 1912 — John William Waterhouse
The world is filled
with the sound of water,
the rustle of lives teeming
beneath a thirsty earth.
I languish among the peonies,
heavy with heat
the earth calling us all
to its measure.
Skin rises to tease the sun,
looses a brazen sigh.
with the sound of water,
the rustle of lives teeming
beneath a thirsty earth.
I languish among the peonies,

the earth calling us all
to its measure.
Skin rises to tease the sun,
looses a brazen sigh.
