Recycled Summer

Florida recycles Summer heat,
a slower version of a hot beat;
Fall’s still smoking;

Leaves crack and dull to brown
skipping the colors of Autumn;
Southern sky’s daunting;

September’s a soft shadow
with hollowed flames to follow;
Serotonin’s falling;

Freckled skin still a bit warm,
season has no time to transform;
Sunburn’s resurfacing.
