William Burns - Poem
To Die in Summer
The sunflower
more permanent now
then the dying maple
Turns to face the setting sun
Summer dream
butterfly's autumn
the distant mountains
blurring into the ocean
the edges fading
disappearing . . .
The amber walls of the world
falling away in the sunset
The white weathered fence post
ghostly now in the moonlight . . .
monument to a ruined heart
What happens to this flat stone
after it stops skipping?
