A poem ~

Time slips under leaf piles, foliage crackles.
You roast marshmallows in the raked musk of October decay.

Time slips under frozen lakes and icy ponds.
You cut figure eight’s, sure-footed in white skates.

Time slips under daffodils, birdsong trumpets.
You study a robin feasting on a worm.

Time slips under fish bellies, tangles seaweed.
You loll on a rubber raft in the green waters of a golden day.
