Indian Summer
Copyright 2001 by Jon Gill

A chilly walk to town
          Snow comes early
          Blinding yet cheery
The light is shorter
          Night grows in power
          Pumpkins grin

A change – very strange
          T-shirts grow in power
          Pumpkins sweat
The sun
          Blinding yet cheery
          A stranger in this land
Pumpkins die of heat stroke,
          The tomahawk of Indian Summer.
