lammas
August 1st: Lammas, Lughnasad
first harvest festival, honoring grains
noticeable dwindling of the sun
a festival of regrets and farewells
regretting disharmonious timing
unequal distribution of pressures
all yet to be smoothed out
belonging to the past at this point
farewells to my co-workers
friends and family here
mishandling the closure in most respects
overeager for the coming seasons’ chill
