A poem about summer?

Buttoned up, gloved
Summer is synaptic,
buried under brittle, white grass.
The other solstice just past,
slowly lengthening light.
Hidden, hibernating limbs
hold the burn of long-day, slow-passage sun,
lightly
fading.
Heat disappearing signals the promise of return.
Swathed skin waits.

"buried under brittle, white grass"
