cAut until Human tides wax once more with Fall-darkened moon of red And flow again beneath the trees Through terra cotta grottos lined with desks. Soft afternoons turn coat-and-jackct nights And by mutual susurrus of consent Trees catch fire and drip flickers of their flame upon the a:rass. Footballs spiral across high sky over thud of leather pads The whistle slices misty dusk and bodies drag on muscles shorn of spring To sweatv-leather smell of locker rooms. We ofler thanks for what is past When trees are quenched by cold, low cloud. The tides are magnetized indoors by warmth. Begins the si-ason of the reign of pine. De. n Pike ' 49 J |2 j sa
