Fall
Fall comes early to the mountainside,
subtle color changes barely noticeable,
a slight evening chill after a tortuously
hot day.
Morning dew drops form on dry blades of grass.
Haze filters the light of the morning
sunrise.
Squirrels forage for acorns
and pine nuts.
Birds head south toward their southern homes.
Butterflies disappear from pale drying
blossoms.
The moon sets early on the
silhouette of an ever darkening hillside.
