August - John Updike

The sprinkler twirls

The summer wanes

The pavement wears

Popsicle stains

 

The playground grass

Is worn to dust

The weary swings

Creak, creak with rust

 

The trees are bored

With being green

Some people leave

The local scene

 

And go to  seaside

Bungalows

And take off nearly

All their clothes

I think I’m still in shock with life returning to normal and trying to fit it all in as well as all the things we’ve missed. My body aches, I’m tired all the time. I’m adjusting though … slowly. It means other priorities are starting to creep in and personal projects have to go on the back burner. I’m loving every moment of working with people again. Sharing stories and capturing memories.
