Texas Snow

By Tyler Morrison

---

Summer turns to sunset;
I cannot turn away.
This vision brings the onset
Of wonder and dismay.

September leaves
Do as they please
Just like my dreams.
They turn their colors
And then scatter in the breeze.

And come October,
You might find me sober.
For now I’m drunk on love.
Love lost, I’ll be hung over.

After November,
I can’t imagine or remember
What to expect except
The summer’s end all over.

The vestige of warmth
Withers in the winter.
Will this remnant
Of endearments
Endure December?

I just don’t know,
But I don’t trust her love
So much as Texas snow.

I just can’t know,
But I don’t trust her love
So much as Texas snow.
