Two Fragments of Late Summer

achristinemyers.substack.com

I have just two brief poems this week, as summer gives way to the very warm days of early autumn. Despite a hot spell, there has been a sudden surge of wildflowers and the creatures that anticipate the coming of cooler weather.


Waiting

I love
To see a dove
Pausing to inspect the day
While the summer slowly drifts away.


It’s also the season when caterpillars are many and active!

Caterpillar days:
autumn weeds become bustling
pathways and cafes.

Brief but delightful. I like how the first one works.
