We’ve shut the windows.
Pulled out sweaters, pulled on socks.
A fall admission.
See sun’s end

We’ve shut the windows.
Pulled out sweaters, pulled on socks.
A fall admission.
Undereye circles
purple as grapes, lids heavy
as harvest-ripe vines.
Again you’re staying
up late. God forbid you should
worry about me.
Cold rain heralded
her return. Killing frost trails
her, biding his time.
Today we act as
if nothing happened. Over
night a cold front passed.
mother nature’s miss
taken october for jewel
eye’s endless summer.
Foggy days. The shroud
of mystery that veils our
ordinary lives.
Cold snap arrives at
last. Wind, rain shake the changing
leaves into vibrance.
Unexpected rain
soothing in a random way
anxious thoughts washed clear.
Summer warmth still clings
Like gum on a shoe, with all
the stickiness gone.
