August ur the apex

August you are the culmination
You are the moment of truth
clumped into a month
You are cool breezy days of fall
squeezing their way into
hot oxygen-less days of the tip
of summer
August you are the breaking point
the place where I can't go beyond
as the same
the place where I can't stop & wait
August
you are reflection
of this thick skinned summer
and its birthing sunset rains
August you are the question
of the Fall
August you are quiet
cause everyone left the city
and yet you stir in me
August
take me there
to the next place
