September














The breezes taste
of apple peel.
The air is full
of smells to feel -
ripe fruit, old footballs,
burning brush,
new books, erasers,
chalk and such.
The bee, his hive,
well-honeyed hum,
and Mother cuts
Chrisanthemums.
Late plates washed clean
with suds, the days
are polished with
a morning haze.
        `John Updike, September
