The Gates of August...(for Jennifer)

The Gates of August...(for Jennifer)

A Poem by DannyLynne Riley


...And The Gates of August have closed rather loud
With the peel of a bell
In a heart-shaped shell
Ringing on the round
And the roaring silent sound
Of vast empty spaces
Streaming whispered conversations
That echo from distant days unbound
Before The Gates of August came crashing to the ground....
