    summer’s end

    —Marjorie Buettner

    The consonance of the s-letter makes me hear a swish of someone's clothing as they throw a coin, and are now perhaps circling the fountain, or sat down on its lip, and their outfit is rustling as they lean ever forward to track its downward trajectory into a summer drowsy torpor below the surface.
