upon us & Senioritis

by Riley Ferguson

Upon Us

as the season sways

and the temperature drops

cold wind echoes within our ribs

and freezes our summer

memories

into frostbite on the lawn

the homemade lemonade turns to

apple pie on your mother’s

windowsill

while Halloween creeps around

the corner

leaving Labor Day to rest

Senioritis

we waltzed down the halls

believing we would be here forever

but the time sped by

while our internet buffered

and our friendships grew

even when distance between us followed

now we sit at the gate of tomorrow

and oh so beautifully

to those we became us with
