Her view from the hill
– once so fine in good weather –
just blackened landscapes.

San Diego fire
Anne emails to say
smoke plumes rise like shrouds of loss.
Below, hell ablaze.
Problem
In bad rains bathroom
ceiling leaks. A slow tick tells
of water stains mapped.
Varmints
Squirrels have eaten
my pumpkins. They eschew fall
negate Halloween.
Unseasonable
Tomorrow it’ll be
eighty. Mother Nature is
having hot flashes.
J onstage
“Playing with Fire” as
Bride of Frankenstein? Perfect
role for Halloween.
See sun’s end
We’ve shut the windows.
Pulled out sweaters, pulled on socks.
A fall admission.
The next day
Undereye circles
purple as grapes, lids heavy
as harvest-ripe vines.
Autumn entourage
Cold rain heralded
her return. Killing frost trails
her, biding his time.
Unresolved
Today we act as
if nothing happened. Over
night a cold front passed.
