Sunlight shrinks away
behind the thin of poplar trees,
spiders throw red shadows
in the paths of tired bees,
spells of a waxing moon are cast
and dragonflies change speed
with just a touch of madness
as summer goes to seed.

Sunlight falls
behind thick trees
as spiders grow red shadows
in the catch of tired bees.
The lure
of a waxing moon
rides low,
and dragonflies
change speed
with just a tinge
of madness
as summer goes to seed.
