SAY GOODBYE
another summer gone
the annual extinction of
each autumn day begins
a Mourning-cloak lies
fallen at the gate
wing margins in tatters
the wave of its life
sinking back into
the river of all living
the air is clear
and bright with molecules
of Caesar’s dying breath
of fresh-cut spruce
and the last faint sigh
of the old season
