Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is summer.
Today’s poem is a number poem about how deep scars can hide
beneath thick summer bloom.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Thirty-five's a whisper in the
sunlight
Half-submerged in
butterflies and bees.
Intimations run
like rutted scars,
Remembrances of
wounds beneath delight
Thick with summer
bloom like rainbow seas.
Yet night brings on
a wild rage of stars.
For what is this
ejaculate of light?
In pain and wonder,
awe and agony,
Viewing silent,
distant ecstasies,
Estranged from love
by strong, protective bars.
