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
