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”

This line has an internal pause (marked by the comma), which is a caesura.
