market day

 23 August 2025


overcaste skies but hidden sun

warms the air.

autumn crouches, shy still

but present in every shadow

unseen by most who dream that

summer is still here

there's are hopeless dreams

swift flurries of leaves already fallen

encourage encroaching darkness

the mornings dark already,

rhodidendrons dying blooms

weary from the hottest suns

of yesterday.

the door of the restaurant open now

reminds us with the swift sharp air

that autumn gales are promised

and circling leaves tomorrow will 

swirl above heads who little know

that autumn really spring now sows
