Summertime (Edward Hopper) Poem by Charlie F. Kane

Summertime (Edward Hopper)



(Inspired by the painting 'Summertime' by Edward Hopper)

Heat bleeds from pavement,
A nervous foot dangles
Over that final step.
The cars buzz and hum past
Flying to bring honey to the queen.
A gentle wind blows her dress-
It’s the colour of 3AM snow.
She waits to move from the shadows
Into the sticky heat and fried egg streets.
