Midway

                                        gusty torrid waves
                                 no songbird waves in the wind
                                 no waves from sapped leaves
                                   specious waves of mirages
                                folks in waves running to pools


                                    pigment change in leaves
                                 ester smell of full blown fruits
                                        heading toward fall


                        
                                                Place: 3rd
