ALREADY?

Ah, Sumac

already drawing colour from the blazing sun.

Admired by walkers shielded by broad-brimmed hats or parasols

Already berries and nuts start to appear

As soon as the blossoms fall

Midsummer Day hardly passed and nature points the way. As we revel in heat, swimming, bike rides, long walks.

Among the daisies and the vetch

a belladonna vine – deadly nightshade

The slant of the sun a fraction different every day. Nature taking note of what we miss.
