Summer Is Over

she is just
around the corner,
I can tell

cause...
the
leaves
are
stripping
themselves
from
the branches.

a
stocking here
and
a panty there.

I woke up to find
a bra on
the hood
of my car.

summer is
over
and
all I can say
is
thank
goodness

when the wood
stands naked
my arms will be
full again

I
watch the leaves drop
and my
heart pumps as
another day falls
away.

soon

this
single cigarette
in the ashtray will
be joined with his best
friend.

and finally..
warm flesh
against
mine,
tight and true will
take the place of
the cold void
I've been sleeping
with.

I will jump into her
like a child in a pile
of
autumn leaves

and she will
be
wide open
and ready
for it
