TOTAL CONTENT

late summer leaves glow in the haze


slate gray sky lit by the outrageous sun


cicadas buzzing in this soaking morning

where things remembered and their attendant regrets

vaporize into their irreparable pasts

and the future to be roils invisibly


and the total content of a lifetime

seeks shade under the wilted trees
