Love Note To Kentucky

Poem by Lis

Give me all of June. I want
the spring of blue jay babies,
mowed grass, carrots

rooting. I want
fresh basil,
wide white open magnolia flowers

floating. I want
the green forest mountain trails
quieting jubilant voices
 
traveling. I want
the solstice delivering summer,
night rain in the creek—syncopated and

rhyming. I want
you with me
here, loving all of June.
