No pumpkins any
where, except for Wal-mart which
wants ten bucks a pop.
Wearing the mantle
of autumn. Cold starry nights
days of leaf-strewn gold.
An apple, as red
as it is crisp, awaits on
the blue floral plate.
The new furnace kicks
on, and I rise to the warmth
like yeast bread baking.
Halloween spirit
eludes me, like the ghost of
someone I once loved.
Turn the clocks back next
week? I could use that extra
hour of sleep right now…
Decorations for
Halloween still not up. Life
seems scary enough.
Suddenly it’s too
chilly to wear a tshirt.
Autumn’s in the house.
Back east, the skies are
clearing, blue unending. Cool
dampness. Leaves changing.
