Sagittarius SEPTEMBER MOOD Sweet as song, -late summer lay In the mouthpiece of the bay; Eel grass shimmered, emerald green, Where August tides ran true and clean, Back up the beach, across the sand, Salt and sun consumed the land; Pink mallow and marsh rosemary Caught the motif of the sea And wave echoes stirred and woke In thin leaves of pine and oak. Yet through turning days of heat The harmony was incomplete, Until, like grace notes, pure and high, Two gulls winged through this even- ings sky.
