A repressionist poem for late fall.

Where has
Summer gone?
Flown.
Forgotten.
Dead.

Autumn dumps
her bounty–
spoiled–
from every
bony bough.

And yet,
among the
crushed
and crumbling
memories remain:

the pods,
the husks,
the hollow
tufted stems.

A hope,
entombed,
and waiting
for the sun.

    cool. I like the end and its hope for renewal; the idea that this earth will be re-pressed again and again and again. &)
