September
September
and autumn creeps
into summer’s room
so many dresses
shade upon shade of green
too many
the young girl
wants something richer
to bring out
the cream of her skin
the sweep
of her dark hair
she fingers an oak leaf
imagining herself dancing
in that shape, but fiery, across the hills
smiles
yes
that will do
