This makes me appreciate these final days of summer and look forward to the beginning of autumn.

I love the reflections of sound from line to line ... and the echoes of Revelation: the sea of glass around the throne, and the cry "how long" -- so apt for that diamond shape turning before the inner-eye.

Had a similar experience of disintegrating the other day on my back patio with my neighbor's cat. It made me think of your cat. My wife is allergic so we can't have a cat inside, so I savor the moments when our neighbor's cat visits. Thank you for sharing your work!

You‘re wonderful at imagery — both with photography and words. Love the last lines…and how long now, the heat.
