The Passage of Summer

A veil of clouds
ghosts the front lawn
and soft fall of rain
patters—

the passage of summer.

Leaves cling
onto branches-

and in reflection

I wonder
how long
before they
drift to the ground.

My ears ring
while I listen
to the song
of nothingness
and I gaze
out the window-

where a aging side street
lies broken.
