Seasons at Souza Park

Seasons at Souza Park

The last day
of laughing children
running and rolling
in the pine needles
and of picnics.

The last day
of red and yellow
leaves scurrying
and squirrels chasing
each other.

The last day
of frozen ground
cracking under boots
melting patches and
puddles.

The last day
of crocus flowers,
of browns and grays
of summer people
yet to come.
