ironic that ice

already it’s dark
week before DST ends –
therapists on call
fragrantly wafting
pungent scent of full ripeness
sweet taste of childhood

the sun going down
changing the angles of light
moving through the woods

Author’s Note: This photograph was taken on September 22, the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. It was the last time I sighted a hummingbird this year. See you next spring, hummers.
