When I see august in my memory,
It’s a simmering orange horizon.
I feel a breeze that brings no relief
And mourn the fleeting summers of my youth.
The heat; it’s choking me.
And anxiety over lost time dawns on all of us.
When I think about the summers of my life,
Will it feel like the end of an august day?
