The End of the Season

The end of the season is when we all dance to tunes familiar

At the end of the season is when the sticky film that's rested on our skin for the past two months washes away with every last rinse each evening

At the end of the season, we fear for the year

Convincing ourselves the two days left will be the best

At the end of the season, we reach for sweaters for the bitter nights

We say farewell 

For now
