October 1st Mournings for the Passing of Plum Season

Last Summer plum—
wrinkly purple.

—

October in the
produce section—
no plums at all.

—

Indian Summer
ends. No more ripe plums,
No more cherries.

—-

Last gasp of Summer—
one wrinkled plum.

(This last one is the best thing I’ve written in a long, long time.)
