different dawn
the leaves are readying to greet their autumn
trees gracefully shadow their skeletal remains atop the pavement
the vacationing sun grows ever more distant
the laziness of summer has departed
children once again gather in the school yards
the once invisible muffler exhaust now coats the air
squirrels busily gather their winter harvest
sparrows sadly watch as others depart
the remaining actors of summer have begun their retreat
bees, butterflies and mosquitos completely vanquished
sidewalks grow eager to imprint the footprints of each passerby
street lights greet a different dawn
newly christened snow flakes await in the clouds above
the puppy’s business yellows the first winter landscape
the night now sleeps with the rest of life
awakened only by a meddling raccoon
thank you,
joseph pede
