Doors swing open on lose hinges
Poverty’s a state of mind...
Cuddling like freezing pigeons,
Two lone shadows intertwined,
Staring in the eyes August,
Down the emptied water-well...
While the wind, so dry and raucous
Sweeps the body’s every cell.
Hot and humid, lustful dreams,--
Women wearing see-though gowns,
The temptations will not cease,
In the chest, the clock still pounds...
Clocks still pound,-- fervent, ardent,
And resound in the heart.
Autumn—questions disregarded,
Autumn-- foliage in the yard...
In the whirlpools of the sawdust,
Wanders memory perplexed,--
There is only August, August
There is nothing coming next...

You are a natural poet, through and through. This piece gives the reader the actual feeling of dryness, heat, and futility, and you've done so in quite an original style and rhythm.

Gosh, you write well!
