distant sounds fly by overhead
aircraft engine heard
vehicles rumble down highways
along with eighteen wheelers,
echos heard through walls
chirping birds illuminate
cats scratch for fleas
morning breezes chill,
fall approaches like a snake
through un-mowed grasses sneak
gaps of summer filled in
famously overlooked by age,
gentle reminders trapped
in corner spider webs only
yesterday pulled down by brooms,
drops in temperature and hearty
meals prepared with hesitation
recant these changes while fires
are kept burning and seasons
change without much notice.
