September by the Sea

September 5, 2021 by Michael Guerin

All tourists have returned home
as another season ends
with children
back in school.

Roads are once again passable
any hour of the day
while bone-white beaches
lay deserted.

This far south trees
don’t change their colors
or shed leaves like confetti
when clocks roll-back
one hour.

Instead, long sleeve shirts
come out of storage
and flip-flops get shelved
in place of shoes.

I won’t miss the foliage, though,
for I’ve had my fill
of winters and Connecticut’s
bitter cold.
