August

The month of August in the deep south Signals the first of many ragweed blooms The lush greens toast to brown The creeks finally run clear And about one inch deep Days are spent hiding from the sun Energy seems to be burned away Loki’s torch up to its old tricks Excitement wants to build A rain could change the seasons But the dust-choked back roads Have no relief yet
