Officially it doesn't end for a few more days, but with Labor Day behind us and white pants in storage until May, it certainly seems like summer is gone. Dusk is my favorite time of day and even though it's coming earlier now, the fading golden light and crisp air make for some excellent evenings.

Memory of Summer Facing West
W.S. Merwin
Sheep and rocks drifting together before sunset
late birds rowing home across bright spaces
shadows stroking the long day above the earth
wild voices high and far-carrying
at sun's descent toward ripening grain
How funny! As I put away my clothes this
ReplyDeletemorning I thought about the white pants I was
holding in my hand and the after labor day
putting away!
I think I just may wear my white pants this week and chuckle to myself!
