Our fathers have returned to the earth, & our mothers sob by their headstones, wailing, "So you couldn't stand me any longer?"             .... .... The red lamps glow in warm weather; it is festival season. Beneath the cedar you and I talk of friends who've left for the academy.

Late Summer
Our fathers have returned to the earth, & our mothers sob by their headstones, wailing, "So you couldn't stand me any longer?"             .... .... The red lamps glow in warm weather; it is festival season. Beneath the cedar you and I talk of friends who've left for the academy.
