Analysis of Hydrangeas
Carl Sandburg 1878 (Galesburg) – 1967 (Flat Rock)
Dragoons, I tell you the white hydrangeas turn rust and go soon.
Already mid September a line of brown runs over them.
One sunset after another tracks the faces, the petals.
Waiting, they look over the fence for what way they go.
