Summer love

Her twill October sweater
As real as the tumbling leaves
Nurtured the warm path of covered buttons
Leading down to the well of autumn’s glow

But now autumn’s buttons are replaced
By summer’s warm, sendal embrace
Lit by this manicured moon’s smiling face
Summer calls her to dance, longing for her to come
