“for the fall of the year is more than 3 months
bounded by and equinox and a solstice.
it is a summing up without the finality of the year’s end.”

luster.
‘there is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky.’
-percy bysshe shelly

i’m not sure about today’s
hail, rain, snow, sun, wind, lightning, and thunder.
i suppose some could classify these as ‘luster’,
but probably not ‘harmony.’

autumnal tints.
“october is the month for painted leaves….
as fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall,
so the year near its setting.
october is its sunset sky; november the later twilight.’

change.
kinders find magic in the japanese garden
seeing things change right before them.

‘change is a measure of time, and in the autumn, time seems speeded up.
what was, is not and never will be;
what is, is change.’

autumn awakens.
‘and the sun took a step back,
the leaves lulled themselves to sleep,
and autumn was awakened.’

falling away.
our first snowflakes fall
and from the looks on their faces
i’d say the fall pumpkins
are having a hard time
accepting the arrival of the winter weather
and wish it would all just go away.

all hallows’ eve.
I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o’-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.

melt.
‘now autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods
and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.’

tonight will be my visit to the last ann arbor park
one day before my goal of halloween
it will be bittersweet to end this adventure
watch for my story this weekend.
I didn't have my glasses on....
