Winter Arrives In a Coffee Mug

Autumn fell away suddenly
snow came
to kiss the ground gently
then it laid down to sleep.

The mornings are wet now,
trees shiver naked
in a junkyard wind, running
unchained.

Hot black coffee means much more
now that daylight lingers late,
the dark brew in the mug
takes longer to awaken,

it has to dream on a little.
