Question

A Sunset of the City
by Gwendolyn Brooks
Already I am no longer looked at with lechery or love.
My daughters and sons have put me away with marbles
and dolls,
Are gone from the house.
My husband and lovers are pleasant or somewhat
polite
And night is night.
It is a real chill out,
The genuine thing.
I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer
Because sun stays and birds continue to sing.

“I am not deceived, I do not think it is still
summer”

“I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer.”
