Such a Sorry, Rainy Song

Yes, and was a summergirl
tho' now the tallish wind

        has swirled the swishing,

        whirling me the autumn
                                           into winter.

Shall I wonder an despair

away to such a sweetheart sadness

like the summerheat and hollow sh&dONS

ob, the place is rusting colors

somewhere green and blue are hid

amid desire.               such a sorry, rainy song.

In the end, without prophetiC overtones or fixtures

there will sudden bursts of yellows
        but to wander here a wait
        before the yesterday of song
                                         is past a season.
