And low creeps the season
away from summer
into the lateness of stealthy
September\'s evening chill.
To here, cloud obscured
October\'s late dawnings.
Dull days of damp hedgerow
enlightened by autumn\'s
golden glory fantasia.
Viewed from behind
a safe and warm
living room window
awaiting grocery delivery
and restoration
of immune system,
locked away
until another day.
