September Poem by Nosheen Irfan
September
Summer still persists
In September sunshine
My city still sweats
From the labour of the lowly
How long has the summer been
Weaving itself
Around the months like a snake
Coiled around a lifeless body
Squeezing it till its bones creak
Summer still lingers
Around the corners
Of streets where houses
Huddle like frightened children
And how can I be joyous
When seasons smile
At the helplessness
Of the concrete buildings.
