August

August is a spendthrift

with Summer’s heat

Hot sauna nights

Long slow-paddle days

Squandering molten rays

on Mother Earth

Sun-drizzling lanqushing flowers

Bankrupting the currency

of Great Oak’s shade

Melting Patient’s coin

with unrelenting passion


August, meet September

Learn thrift from a cooler head

Wilma Gundy

(I suggest reading the poem aloud, listening to the “s”es and “z”es to get the effect of heat and steaming.)
