      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      26 Alphabetical Praises for Summer

      Mark Tochen

      Camas, Washington - United States

      an abecedarian poem

      always get up early, the day’s already begun

      bring swim gear to your picnics, water’s up!

      consider the dawn, such rosy glory

      don’t dwell on wind and rain, it’s summer!

      escape from your own mind it’s beauty time

      farmers’ markets are impressionist paintings

      glorious flora greet us with gorgeous greenery

      hop on a bike it’s a free ride

      in a little tent in the forest my spirit is free

      jump into the water with a big splash!

      kiss a beautiful girl

      leave worry for winter

      meet your friends for coffee at dawn

      nice to meet you, Earth—love your outfit!

      Oregon Osaka and Orathanadu are all homes of summer

      pick purple berries and eat on the trail, lips
