Briefly hot

The sky was cloudless and the creek full of reflected color.  I noticed that the pine just slumped down but its roots did not pull out of the ground.  A heron spent a moment on the dock.  Goldenrod bloomed.  I sweated working on cleaning the pool.  I had optimistically put a swim suit on, but I was afraid to find out how cold the water was.  The moon was nearly full but not quite above the trees when I went back outside to check.  Already the temperature was falling so I didn't stay.
