Praise the good tempered summer | B |
and the red cardinal | C |
that jumps | D |
like a hot coal off the track | E |
Praise the heavy leaves | F |
heroines of green frosted | G |
with silver Praise the litter | B |
of torn paper mulch | H |
and sticks the spiny holly | I |
its scarlet land mines | J |
- | |
Praise the black snake that whips | K |
and shudders its way across my path | L |
and the lane where grandmother | B |
and grandfather walked arms | M |
around each other's waists | N |
next to such a river below | O |
a blue bridge about to be | I |
crossed by a train | P |
- | |
In the last gasp | Q |
of August they erase the time | R |
it might be now whispering | S |
into the darkness that passed | T |
blue plumes of smoke and cicada | U |
eager and doomed | V |
