the summer is galloping away...
in my little world this way...


Leavings

It is over and the tans will become wanly
And wantonly dimmer as if small deaths have
Been applied each day to combat rosy cheeks.

You must go home now and live and we
Will stay here wishing warmly the world
Is not as icy as we think it is...and we are not so
Easily able to see the shame of it all.

Tonight there is space for the old-fashioned
Children playing hide and seek.

Eek!
Apparently I'm it!

As a tourist, I've often wondered what a town is like after my sort leaves. Now, I think that I know.

I see the seasons as a carousel, focusing on one is impossible, they pass by in a whirl.
