Assassinating Summer

Fall is a ninja

“Assassinating Summer”

 

It creeps into

The trees like

A ninja,

Silent and stealthy

Then – wham!

Sword-flashes of

Color that

Slash through the green

Like wounds bleeding,

The first precious

Drops of Autumn,

Shuriken in red

And copper

Assassinating Summer

One leaf at

A time while

Nights like chill blood

And old religions

Prep their offerings

To Fall.
