September

Sad the garden: Fresh

down to the flowers in the rain.

silent trembles

the summer, declining to its end.

Gocciano golden leaves

down the big acacia.

Ride dazed and dull

Daniel Ridgway Knight Paintings

the summer in his dying dream.

Lingers among the roses,

thinking of his peace;

slowly squints

big eyes heavy with fatigue
