cold air streams through the valley
like a service provider without fees,
cats remain curled up inside, some
on a low setting heating pad...
furnaces churn out the heat,
fireplaces burn dry wood...
fall has finally arrived, and we are
are caught without our flannels,
chocolate and sweets once a seasonal
treat, now sits on the countertop
cooling for consumption, as we
play video games, sometimes
answering tweets that have been
sent to us by mistake...
inside we are bound without any
restraints for several months,
losing our summer tans as we
wrap up in blankets to stay warm,
seasons are no longer kind to us
our bodies no longer respond well
to the change - minds resist as well
we don't always notice the change,
reading lamps are on, we sing with
lost harmonies watching our breath
flow out in front of us like some
ghostly spirit leaving our bodies
in search of a better residence.
