The wind is cold;
our sun-thirsty flesh
puckers in response
like unripened apples
filling out the knotted
branches of trees
Clematis blooms collapse
into their fragile skeletons-
ascending cobalt beauty
sucked slowly into dirt
The substance of air
turns absently passive
and Procrastination
dances boldly
in the fading sunlight.
