Final harvest

Savouring the gifts of summer amidst climate change

I feel the fire of solstice

arriving just in time

to sweep me right off my feet

and ripen fruit on the vine

Somehow amidst the raindrops

the pollinators have been dancing

Tending to delicate blossoms

budding and romancing

And what if it’s the final year

with abundant fruit to bear?

I will enjoy every last nectarine

‘til nectar drips from my hair
