Image of the Summer Has No Doubts poem with spacing intended by the poet. The words to the poem follow. About her own body summer has no doubts pressing you close with her loose rhythms and wet loyalties while graciously the sun lets down its hair holding back nothing the light so strong buds break through trees’ toughness to muscle fully into the world. You wonder, during winter’s fierce grip, is summer a blossom’s most luscious fantasy and do trees dream? Even the dirt is revealing itself as roots plunge deep, deeper, into the yielding dark. Once more, faith has bloomed in Earth’s hips and lifted up its green and golden praise so even you begin to move again like any body of water towards its source. Whatever the losses, you know summer comes and goes but will never leave you.
