It Seems the Weather is Always About to Change
August creeps in around the branches, slipping
Cascading warmth into green light on the ground, leaving
You motionless, transfixed, knowing
The stillness simply was not made to last
Dip an oar into water, feeling
The tension as it breaks the surface, tensing
Muscles that get stronger everyday, growing
Months leading to this tan strength
Fall will come swiftly, eagerly from north to south
Taking and tearing; ushering the deep light away
But today you continue--past stone fence and mangled root,
Through blue green waters, and into the open
A creature of the dirt surrounded by the sea
When you were young you belonged anywhere.
