the last hurrah
summer again
yesterday’s cool breezes just a tease
waves of heat that whisper and shimmer
humidity dancing in a twenties flapper dress
and these dried out flowers that periscope up
to keep one eye on winter
setting seed for birds that will shiver
in the light of tomorrow’s dawn.

There is something so captivating about that flower. The way it’s just held there, it’s beauty a little diminished yet it’s glory evident. More fragile yet still, in form. I wonder if that’s what memories are made of?
