Summering
sidewalk cafes
bloom on city corners
we plant
our winter bones
in any patch of sun
jazz concerts
in the sculpture garden
smooth strains
of tenor saxophone
waft across the river
the tangy scents
of propane and bug spray
permeating
these summer evenings
faint drifts of laughter
salsa dancing
under the canopy
bodies bend
to Latin rhythms
on this sultry night
we celebrate
our cultural diversity
all summer
street vendors tempt us
to eat and drink the world
