the longest day and a year half over
a chill down my spine
like the echo of December wind
as hopes become dreams
help my unbelief
the wet blanket of marine air
dampening activity
shutting summer down
so many wishes blown out in joy
grumbling gratitude
rose petals and cottonwood down
a carpet of dying comfort
plentiful food tipping the scale
as guilt rides in on the insulin rush
my thoughts multiply
July crashes in with pyrotechnics
the beginning of the end in denial
distracted by a kaleidoscope of colour
until the gloom of June fades
like a cloud of witnesses
gazing into a blue sky of forgetfulness
the light intoxicates with clarity
an inexorable change like the grim reaper
rides on the smell of woodsmoke
remember me
