August Ending
The burnt brown grass of August ending
Longs for the opulence of autumn
To adorn the stripped and thirsty trees
With garnet jewels and gowns of silken rain
Falling on split lips, filling a chasm of stunted seedlings
To exult its bohemian beauty, its tapestry
Of unbridled orange, of vicarious red
In vibrant mockery of three months
Of mandatory merriment, until the
Sunburned soul seeks impetus of aloe breezes
To heal the cracks of indolence.
