The brittle lawn
the early leaves
brown where green should be
under my feet
The crunch of the grass
far to audible
loudly breaking
as I walked to school
The air oppressive
spooned into my lungs
the sweat pouring
on the way home
September, 2010
about my walk to the
Pembroke Village School
Pembroke, NH
September 1, 2010
after school, in the high 90’s.
