IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING

The summer doesn't end.

It goes on, 

it takes over the days

assigned to autumn;

the leaves don't fade,

the leaves don't fall,

chill wind doesn't blow

rustling bare boughs.

Summer is here,

in the lush green leaves

abundant on branches,

summer is here

in the shortening late September

days; in warm sunlight

dancing on green leaves,

waves of light

where cold rain should

beat brown leaves,

drown them in pools

of muddy water.

The summer doesn't end.

It goes on,

it takes over the days

of autumn, reaching for winter.
