late september

it's colder at night now
upstairs i can hear my son coughing

his september cold


everything returns
to itself
and waits


light glows
and then passes through

the softer colours

No cold here yet. No chill in the air. But...I could feel the coming fall in the air yesterday even if it was still hot.

I love the golden glow of September light. Today, though, the sky is solid gray . . . and the relentless rain is helping the decaying process. (Everything returns to itself . . . lovely.)

Autumn showing its colours, steven, and those last three lines are beautiful.

ellen - today the temperature was 28C - more summer than autumn but the evenings are down in the single digits. tomorrow i'm riding a 110 km round trip for baked goods with a bunch of bike buddies. it'll be cool and at some point rainy. the fall colours should be gorgeous. steven

bee i'm there with you. the quality of light in autumn is special. low, still warm but thin. steven
