Equinox

The sun is hot on this last September Saturday,
after the shortest Summer in memory.

Work is not even a memory;
The back of my mind is vanished.

And though I am surrounded by
birds remembering
what's to be done -

gathering red berries from the ripe bush,
and dew-drawn worms from the dawn grass -
the only sound I know is the sun's chorus,
and I harvest.
