THE SUMMER

with the moaning of the deepening grand loneliness

 

it tidied itself up on the sand

to run into the autumn sea by shouting and screaming

 

it said, “get up” when your heart touches the water

by the steamy voice of the fired up loves

knock at the doors, at the doors of the all towns

 

the summer is over, the sand tidied itself up

pieces of the houses were shaken up

the flowers pulled themselves together, the summer was dried up

it was sprinkled on the last cold night

 

the summer is over. the sunsets are folded

with caution, they were put away for the next year

one love looked for its substitute in the autumn

the seagull caught the last fish and life

elapsed at the autumn in the wake of the motorboat

 

the summer was over with a full moaning

the loves pulled themselves together with an endless grief

everything is shouting and screaming, the trees

maybe a freshly baked loaf of bread

could have warmed the entire world but it is gone

the summer is over, the worn-out houses gathered together and closed up
