I got to thinking

today

a

bout

the end

n

o

w

don’t jump to

conclusions

What I 

was

thinking was how

summer comes

and then goes

and

school starts

and suddenly

it’s autumn

so I decided

to celebrate

summer 

colors and

what do you know

the epiphyllum

shouted

one more

red

blossom

and

the pink

bromeliad 

whispered

I’m here

Winter can wait
