THE WISDOM OF AUGUST

the wisdom of August

is the harvest of September


the rest is dross

left to October and November


to decay into the common ground

that nourishes the dark renewal of December


would we be fortunate enough

to endure the cold incubation of the winter


to gaze again on the birth of buds

in the pliant unstoppable spring....
