Gift Of Summer

Some first shots from our photoshoot for Sahlia Jewelry, shot by Ben Pigao, model Kara Jean Cadwell makeup and hair by me and styling bySahlia and me. "Gift of Summer" was written by my grandma Anita. Happy beautiful sunny day!

Gift of Summer

We pluck pale gold figs,
pleasure for a sultan,
their rich sweet fleshiness
as succulent as honeyed flowers.
A few are visted by birds
who sample the globed fruit
in the upper reaches.

As the season progresses
ants take over the fermenting
pendant orbs, and drunk with delight
forget their programmed work ways
in their model community on ground.

We creatures all yearn for a time
of fruit gathering.
Our concerns meet and crisscross
as we pluck gold figs,
pleasure for a sultan,
as succulent as honeyed flowers.

-Anita Hamm
