death sharpens the nub
of life for writing full-stops.
our words more clearly
full-stop is all. then
another then another
are drawn…ellipsis

There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known
ben’s patchwork farms, the

threaded roads piece a quilt my
grandma never saw
flying to detroit
flying to detroit
i spy my father’s house and
feel the growing grass

“Lightning in a Bottle: Capturing Summer”-Coming Soon to a Blog Near You
- sheet lightning illuminating the sky like a backdrop
- lighting bugs twinkling one by one in the gloaming, in tiny galaxies in a child’s bottle
- fireworks fountaining into a humid night sky above a sweaty crowd, above a glimmering skyline
- water from a sprinkler fountaining around children, droplets flying, slip and slides and snow cones
- a rainbow arcing above the city, a thunderhead hemming in the prairie, ponderous as a mountain
- watermelon juice tracking sticky down a boy’s face and arms and chest, popsicles, corn dogs and funnel cakes
- concentric ripples on a dusky pond at evening, cicadas
- summer corn and sweet tea, fried chicken and washers, lawn chairs and grills
- sundresses and cut-offs, flip flops and bare feet
- festivals and mosh pits, coolers and canoes, road trips
- bear cubs and redbirds
I could go on. But hopefully these images of summer help you get an idea of the wide open scope of the next photo contest on the Dassler Effect, wide as prairie. Summer truly is an amazing season. I encourage you to add your own iconic images of summer in the comments and let’s make this collective brainstorm a thunderhead.
