September mood

September evening.

late September, the eve
is hot and windless
to warm for walking
as darkness descends 
dust on pavements and
fallen leaves bear witness
to nature's tiredness
the local shop saves light
ashen faces
optimistic summer tan
does not last long
a folded plastic bag
four bottles of beer, please 
and crisp
