Before Fall Comes
before fall comes and hijacks the hegemony of heat
the leaves drop to the earth in protest, their fibrous
veins intercepting the morse code of sunlight;
It’s time for a change.
before fall comes and swallows the scent of summer
the flowers seal shut their lips like hunger strikers,
And the wind blows cold energy from the poles;
It’s time for a change.
before fall comes and harvests the fruit of longer days
Raindrops sprinkle fertilizer on the soil of living things,
and the waters sparkle cool and crisp like dripping apples;
It’s time for a change.
But once fall comes and plants its flag throughout the sky
And erects its buildings upon the land,
Winter, white and humming, appears on the horizon,
And in winter every snowflake is a blueprint for change
