Juncos
Pretty juncos flutter in my backyard.
One sits on a fencepost, clearly on guard.
They wander through the weeds,

Lost September
I lost September somewhere in the sadness
lost track of shadows in the sun
mourned not fading warmth nor shortened days
shivering in a crystal cloak of frost.

wilting on the vines of plumping lust.
Cold soil covering September
blanketing the joys of milder days
memories slow fading with the season
huddled near the fencepost by the barn.
