Fall Prelude





September days 
the 
angle
has 
changed, 
the
tilt,

each
shorter

 like 
every
step
I take, 
every
movement
of dawn
to dusk 

 shorter
cooler
drawing
the gloaming
over my
head
like a 
blanket 
for
warmth.

    Excellent. The prelude to autumn is indeed like a blanket, slowly blotting out summer...
