AFTER AUGUST

I
In a desert dream I found you.
The blinding light of day,
shown down on our circumstance.
Hot winds bid us stay, and
spin the wheel of fortune once more.
A decades old fantasy!
And from the clay of confusion,
carve a new destiny;
a place we can be free,
a nitch in time for you and me.

II
Sideways glances.
Salad dances.
Kitchen choreography.
Awkward stances.
Thwarted chances.
A host of possibilities;
mmm…
—never meant to be.

III
August loomed on the horizon,
—a promise hollow as a lie.
A gift wrapped in hidden truths,
concealing fast an empty sigh.
As the heart kept watch
 from longings’ tower,
—straining for some kind of sign;
Summer shed her frail petals,
and August she blew right on by…
—brought a single tear to my eye;
—coloring the Autumn sky
Vermillion.
