Fall Fills the Air

Feeling of Fall

Fall Fills the Air

After a long prelude 

Of fog and rain

Yellow sun

Oceanic aspen

Crisp coolness

After the heady

Intoxication of summer

Thrift

Stockpiling

The psych-up

And after the sleep

Of excess and ease

I feel the imperative

Of fort-building

As I stir ancient

Dank, musty smells

  

Now in the head-on of winter

I'm finely alive again

Fall fills the air
