Unrequited Summer

Contest Title: 'FAREWELL, SUMMER' 
Sponsor: nette onclaud
Date: 05.09.2019



He grips so tightly to her warmth
with fears that this will be their last
encounter until God knows when -

When will we reunite once more?

He, lost in limerence - summer -
She ran as fast as the leaves fell;
now he walks amongst her ashes.
