--------------------To Fall-------------------------------------------

it's fall again:
     don't miss this change, the show
the black and white is yet to be
     but what was green before
 must go









...so

go now, and walk beneath the cobalt skies
...hear winds among
    the husks and leaves that rush and sigh



breath in the pumpkin-smell
       from this year's ground

the grace of bark and snow
     comes soon, that sleek
        and cushioned sound

----JK, 2018
