Early autumn is a slow undressing,
A dropping gently of the clothes of time

In the soft dark of morning, in the early dark of evening

In the cool air that awakens, enlivens, embraces

And ultimately takes summer in a breath of ecstasy--

A breath it holds until midday, when it lets go

To warm all those naked limbs,

All grace and splendor and reaching,

Reaching unabashed--perhaps even proud--

For the equally naked, equally splendid sky.
