Five Year Old Evening

by James Brush on September 21st, 2007 | Go to comments

Sometimes I flip through my paper journal to see what I wrote in the past. Here’s the entry for 9.20.02…

So now, lounging in the cool outdoors,
September eve, and the trees do shake,
Clouds mix with vapor trails,
Marring the frank permanence of the autumn sky.

That permanence is an illusion.

When heat returns,
The sky shifts like a liar,
Remembering its whiter, plainer side.
