Midway
Mid-September crows
The annals do remember
The devotion of the Spring
The Summers careless temper
Sluggish is the future
Cheapening the now
Anxiety is all
It can and will allow
So I feel the cool
The plume of Winters heel
Taking from the day
What it vainly sealed
Laid upon the shoulder
Terror in its sting
With the purpled charm
Of an undone king
September shades the eve
Dawn my raze the night
Lead the sky to grieve
Hold to nothing tight
Where the moon can tell
What the devils know
October won't forget
What September crows!
