'Chalk'

A requiem of late summer exhaust

Feeling heat's intensity wane

Signaling a dying seasons autumn into a coming one

Oh, chalky month, as taste

like a piece of 'Mamba' candy

August - you stir my soul - as twilight


Destin, Tuscaloosa sun setting

blue green, sandy horizon pale

lifeless as summer has become

of heaped hills of college chime bells - bellow

a chalky taste to my senses, to my soul is August

dusky saint of languid dreams


J.C.B.
