Technically this is early autumn,
but it feels like late summer to me.
The temperatures my energies drain
each time I venture outdoors daily.
+++++
I long to wander in the woods again
for longer than an hour at a time,
but I cannot do that yet, for the heat
deprives me of that pleasure sublime.
+++++
Autumnal temperatures, my dear friends,
where are you? Please speed, like Mercury
the winged, to us, and deign to remain
until winter comes gloriously.
