REPOST: “The Little Girl by the Fence at School”

Grass that was moving found all shades of brown, moved them along, flowed autumn away galloping southward where summer had gone.
And that was the morning someone’s heart stopped and all became still. A girl said, “Forever?”
And the grass. “Yes. Forever.”While the sky –
The sky – the sky – the sky.

--William Stafford
