The final day of August drooped over pastures, ditches, dry corn,
slats of old tree forts,
fields heavy with cicada song.
Noon still shimmered,
moonrise quaked,
stars telegraphed the dark.
The final day of August burned like lightning.
Two friends, drunk on mistakes,
made love in a narrow bed.
In the morning, September shuddered at the cold.
