Dormant Daze
Cast
(in order of appearance)
by
Melissa Lemay (ml), David Bogomolny (db), Lesley Scoble (ls),
ml: my flower garden
slowly withers and dies
until next year
db: with care, I water
my orchids with ice
ls: lamplight casts ficus leaf
shadow of moonlit romance
stencilled on the ceiling
ml: snake plant arms reach
toward the sun nibbled in places
db: ~ sweet, cold lemonade
~ rope hammock in our backyard
beneath leafy oak
ls: a squirrel drops green acorns…
one hits me as I slumber
Melissa Lemay, David Bomolny, Lesley Scoble, October 2024
