Summer’s Arrival
By Armando Ortiz
Jacarandas dry up
as they fell and landed
on the sidewalk,
a purple carpet
welcomes our walk.
Jasmine fragrances blend
with the warming days,
tiny white flowers burst
Summer's sudden arrival.
Traffic lights turn red,
a humming is stalled,
destinations unknown
in cars people forever roam.
Sparrows perch on branches,
feeding crying chicks.
Hummingbirds hovering besides
crimson nectar feeders.
Sycamore trees lush and green,
swaying with the wind,
cars resume their drive,
artificial breeze picks up.
Offshore currents
blending with westerly flows,
longer warm days mix with
the humdrum of summer’s arrival.
