Glory pauses briefly
poised on the pinnacle
of hot and cold
Breathless
Fleeting
Mornings rings crisp
like a fresh Jonathan apple
Wood smoke spirals
from hibernating chimneys
The sun hitchhikes south
and I sit in the kitchen
drinking tea
stitching poems
about roses and house wrens
wishing for the right jar
to capture
one last gulp
of October.
