before the frost

032-15

It's late this year;
our grace period extended
by a week or two.
But daylight is noticeably less
and the manic reach and unfurl
has slowed a bit
as we reach this last day
before the frost.

159-2

Like so many things
I've been feeling lately;
it is one part mourning a loss,
and one part acceptance;
celebration even

029-11

of how far we've come,
and the certainty of change,
the revolution of season
and knowing that things are in balance,
the world as it should be.

044-11

We will wake
to a sudden change,
will spend the afternoon
pulling wilted vines down
as the sun warms shoulders
and geese align
and move off together
high overhead.

043-8
