late fall

 the late fall

chills all

with sodden rain

and bleary pall

of the late sluggish gleam

of the light

of day

and the heavy slump

of night.

we feel in our bones

in the fall of our time 

the dint of the seasons 

in the throes of the 

clime

and wonder at how the winter might be--

not too soon,

not too heavy,

hopefully.
