Summer's End


Summer’s end is not the corn dolly
hanging from barn rafters.

No booming fireworks eulogize her.
No riderless horse drags her effigy
through the harvest parade . . .

Rather she comes uneventfully,
softly, in creeping fog and morning glories,

in the unfolding of little back yards
strung with empty clotheslines,

and in the sudden urge to bake apples.
A quiet requiem, summer’s end.

I like this sweet and sentimental ode to the end of summer. Made me reminisce for a while.
