Finally . . . FALL! Oct. 16, 2023

Finally . . . FALL!


the head down shuffling season

finally relieved of its

scalding brand of fire


though a few leaves dare show color

it’s green that paints over eyes

bored with every shade of brown


the bluebird mornings return

air crackling with a soft beauty

days are sun-warmed shade-cooled


and evenings shift outside

for extended entertainment


time for the

nine o’clock moon

to put on his MC hat again


and the stars to

dust off their shoes

and dance
