54 - Buzzer beater.
joneworlds@mailbox.org

Had I met her in better weather
ere the bard of fall
brought to the well
the winter's rending
of ends, its forms
of seeds or leaves.
Another one, please?
Can't I trade late
to take two more days?
We can find another way,
for bronze ones rarely rust.
With just a little left,
she'd be my buzzer beater yet.
