August Rain

The consequences of summer.

Of an evening easily spent.

The wind. The Dakotas.

What are the reasons when there are no reasons at all?

Seasons fall to summer like a blast furnace

upon sand. August rain. His name is forever.

His name is child. He sits upon the stairs of tomorrows’

and then someone says… I understand that

but understanding doesn’t take away

the sound of tomorrow.
