Starpoet by Lisa Jain Thompson
Newsflash:
Another Summer
 
 
The storms to the south
Have cleansed and cooled us
And provided a short respite
From the oppressive heat.
The full moon sets
Behind the mist,
Chased by Jupiter
Pretending to be Venus.
The sun's bright yellow light
Moves the chilled air
Across my thin T-shirt
And turns my thoughts
To times to come
And lips and hands
That will soon touch mine.
