Gear Shift



Coffee is calling. As I

make a fresh pot,

I see wild rabbits


gobbling up grass

below trees with leaves

turning yellow for fall.


The wind shakes the flowers

still blooming for summer.

Tomorrow they’ll wither and die.


If the day is a car, I can’t

find the gears to shift my mind

forward to housework.

It always seems to happen so suddenly! Fall is slipping in very slowly and quietly here.
