Fall of the Leaf

Fall of the Leaf

The final frantic mowing of lawns
Augurs the arrival of the first phalanx of frost.
Rimy fingers probing inexorably forward,
Inevitable as the tides.
A solitary brimstone flits doggedly across the tiny gardens;
Hugging the fences, looking for a final resting place.
Trees discard their raiment of burnished gold
On bowers where russet dominates.
Crisp leaves swiftly become sodden,
Like discarded cereal.
