end of summer

end..

the ants sing in traps

of fallen brown and all

these crazy winds dance

a blind ballet of coded

circles so rain constant

washes us in a dark baptism

when I clutch your hand

I feel small bones under

your skin,light as a bird,

made warm by the running

days, the last summer

Reviews

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

it's nice to see romance and nature interwoven together without seeming forced

[Coyote Song]

A lovely story about the coming fall. A wonderful poem. The imagery in this is powerful, especially about the fragile hands. Time to keep warm as fall comes in.

[Tina Kline]

Describes the ending of the season very well, the imagery in stunning. Endings are almost always sad,m and the small fragile hand could be theh and of a child or some very old. But the ending is sad, Yes. A wonderfully done and impressive poem.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is so sad..i the nearing of the end of life in this...not just the end of a season.
i really love the "dark baptism"

again, you astound me with the fresh images you evoke...
