the music.. so good

thank you

“welcome to summer” ah thank you

i love these lines

“summer dropped like a heavy beam”

& “the microbes are screaming”

“everyone is miserable” is a sad & funny line

also like your presentation of respect/respite together

& how you connect the sunflowers with the sparrows

“the bugs are gone, the caterpillars that ate my spinach,

everybody”

migration

bugs starve birds starve

starvation is front page news

“i don’t have to stand outside in one place all day”

sunflower like immigrants in fields

“..like the good old usa”

that is “through with summer”

into fall soon to winter (democracy)

the chiles like the native latinas can thrive here

two thorny native trees, “like a couple of old bells”

beautifully mingles spanish & native histories

those who are unbothered

simultaneous thriving & dying

cycles.. summer, problems, lifetimes

also empires

“my view out the window with the cardinal & the hackberry trees”

you the observer but also you the experiencer

the aider, the investigator, the storyteller

Good idea to listen to music with water in the background in hot dry times.

Perfection...listened on a loop as the Springer flies over fields terrorising seagulls who take to flight, cursing him with language not fit for children's ears.

A mile from the sea. Just a couple of lazy flaps and easy thermals for these giant gulls.
