September - a soft goodbye to summer, whispered gently by the rustling leaves of autumn.

Tolkien • Song of the Simple Truth: The Complete Poems of Julia de Burgos by Julia de Burgos • Peggy Toney Horton • The Whole Story and Other Stories by Ali Smith • Albert Campus • To The Tune 'Soaring Clouds by Huang O.

on nostalgia and not being able to go back to how it used to be.

I went to my great aunt's funeral last month. I slept in her bed in her house that's about to be sold. Drank vodka in a backyard I haven't seen since I was 16. I sat with my other great aunt during the wake; she held my hand, and I thought, "It's just the two of us left from all those summers we spent in Cape Cod."

I miss my grandmother, and her brother, and her sister. And I miss my cousin who won't talk to me anymore. I hope she misses those summers, too.
