Autumn Was Colder Than Winter
it was the only year that the trees died,
before the first day of winters freezing tide,
descended upon us like an icicle stake,
plunging deeply, punching a hole into autumn,
how the air rapidly moved in enough to sway the trees,
and in this chilling, mountain reminder,
most of the leaves were all still green,
but with promise for a bitter cold front,
(oh how warm the electric heater was that day)
all food for thought and campfire springs,
warming the path before us with haste,
reluctant much as the sun was to crack the clouds that day,
even the kids didn't cause much of a problem,
it was the only year in which tv dinners in august,
felt out of place and we turned on the oven,
for some nice baked honey ham indeed,
then lay out on the carpet for a late evening read,
(of all of our favorite poets)
how bittersweet:
that the memories we created dried up in the heat,
the next day of a fading summers' power,
to take cold and turn to hot the air down from Ontario,
and leave us yearning again for evening cookouts,
a simple awakening that day was for us,
when grass froze briefly in the lull before morning,
when underneath the blankets chilled were our feet,
(and we didn't want to stir or stumble)
from the layers of warm sheets piled upon us,
however simple, was but a minor reaction,
to waking upon morning and seeing the moon,
still captured briefly in the bright daze before dawn,
when still the air was chill for a 1st class deliverance,
(as if being cold was grander than sleeping through work)
