thinking about enough —
autumn grass heavy with seed
bent down in the rain


October 26, 2020

we slow our steps
trying to leave a space
for the fox, the owl


October 25, 2020

showing us 
how to love a cold snap —
purple lobelia



October 24, 2020

cloudy autumn day —
all available sunshine
crunching underfoot


October 23, 2020

a new goose moves
to the front of the “V” —
my dead father’s birthday


October 22, 2020

October half-moon —
I tidy up the ginger snaps
eating the broken ones


October 21, 2020

the last few crickets
under already sleeping trees —
still singing away


October 20, 2020

pushing our fear
ahead of us up the hill —
two weeks out


October 19, 2020

stealing from the sun
a little more each day —
mid-October leaves
