brown leaves cling to life
loathe to leave their lofty perch
roots await their warmth
sustenance for growth
shared dream of next year’s greening
spring’s awakening
Fall begins

Here, a few red vanguards have been appearing, and a few yellow spears, too.
But for now, the waiting and some wilting as everything winds down, before the big bang, a month of colorful turning and thinning.
After that, no more ignoring the brown and bronze turning to long shadow.
