Tanglewood by Kenneth Salzmann
At home steamy days give way
to a welcome chill
the coolness wraps itself around us
as the sun recedes and the music,
ensorcelling, begins
and it’s darkening earlier
the pears are ripening
the seasons are seeking
a fragile impossible
balance as August ends.
Kenneth Salzmann’s poems appear in numerous print and online journals and anthologies. His recent book, THE LAST JAZZ FAN AND OTHER POEMS, is available from Amazon. He lives in Mexico.
