Summer's Last Day 2016





the wake 


consumed, set free, summer season 
commits to posterity or something. 

cage this eagerness for dead leaves. 
futures are bound as anticipation. 

we celebrate dying with colors of fire. 
how to bundle our toes and fingertips 

will prevail against frostbite teeth bleached 
white, crystal - that translucent corpse.
