Summer Spells
Walk your bike up a hill only to ride down, open-mouthed.
Your voice sounds like it used to
when you and your cousins
would sing into a fan, cackling
at the simple magic trick.
The pine cones here are small and green.
Church bells mark the passage of time and
some tricks
(freestone peaches,
holding your breath under water
just to come up for air,
the way summer disappears)
still have magic.
