Oh, Summer

Was it you who said the Winter was coming?
The sun was shining on a string
beer bottle bodies beach-
bound. There were no waves 
that day save from my arm to yours
limb-long hellos falling, hitting heavy 
the ground. A golden Autumn 
was here, in the café 
they told me in accents from home 
that left me 
undone. 
Golden leaves, golden 
trees, golden pleases and thankyous 
golden bittes and dankes 
all lost on my tongue.
