we can't get much further away
from the summer solstice
grasses tickling your shins
sun pink face, a few freckles
but it's good to be here
with winter encroaching
with your smile
bright as buttercups
your kisses delicate
as sweet pea flowers

willows dragging the river
for another lost summer

undressing of trees revealing

spilled from urgent beaks
mashed underfoot

wash away harvest dust
cool our sheets for sleep

casting a fresh line
heavy river running slow
your smile caught my eye

sky darkens, air cools
harvest dust swirls in downdraught
leaves dance to the beat

flickering shadows on walls
shaken foundations

grass mown and tedded
wuffled to speed its curing
awaiting baler
