the ladies of summer [or whomever you feel fit the part...i like to replace 'ladies' with 'sf scenes

[wordstonowhere]

the ladies of summer will die like the rose
and the lie

the ladies of summer will love
so long as the price is not
forever

the ladies of summer
might love anybody;
they might even love you
as long as summer
lasts

yet winter will come to them
too

white snow and
a cold freezing
and faces so ugly
that even death
will turn away--
wince--
before taking
them.
