fall

a brisk wind

shy of leaves

lawn mower

humming the tune

of summer

folded pages

in a romance novel

evenfall

height of summer

a garden of roses

exhaling

daylight

filtering through

a bleak sky

dull day

today’s trees

a darker shade

watching the tide swell

in her sunglasses

road trip

my eyes seal tighter

with every stop

midnight train

spring wind

a lamb rests its chin

on a sibling

fall wind

brittle leaves

scraping the curb
