I want to paste these first fallen leaves back on the trees
and nudge the sun a bit higher in the sky.
I haven’t had enough suppers of sweet corn on the cob,
my salty fingertips slick with butter.
I never got around to making ice cream with juicy peaches
and the homegrown tomato season is never long enough.
Soon we will wrap our necks in colorful scarves,
fading tans hidden beneath cosy sweaters.
And I will mourn the barefoot days of summer.
