Taking Maryanne to Lunch
and a Flower Shop on a July Day
by Bruce Jewett

Walking back from your office
and returning to my pick-up truck
I crank windows shut and sit there
in this heat, looking where you sat.

I breathe in sweetpeas, daisies;
breathe in your voice and look
unfolding me now with petrichor
left by rains long in the making.
