– Field Note by Justine Kibbe July 17, 2017.
Upon Firewheel petals within a Garden’s Demonstrate*;
bees soldier on and pollinate.
Side by side this stretch of Fort, within Summer’s marching on –
“Stop here” for just a moment, and standing at attention,
Hear Fog horn’s call to arms.
That very sound in sequence that passing ships know well to thank –
Listen too, as young Bob White’s call does find its very own rank.
