straight—not as a harbinger
of something harder.

scrubbed clean of meaning—or innocent
of the cold thing coldly meant.

only, but for one who sees
summer as an absolute,

to which one cannot raise a doubt,
as soon as one leaf’s off the tree
no day following can fall free
of the drift of melancholy.

A perfect pairing of words and images.
