picnic sunday afternoons
no longer
passing mist

hardy cries
of sunlit petals
now move inside

the table window
art scape
checkered cloth

patriotic hues
question
plan ahead with
rising
crusted bread

wine touched
lips melt around
the rim
glass now empty

savoring
the mixed emotions
on a weekend afternoon
clear
