Autumn comes late
but it does come
Climate change, metabolic change,
Autumn still comes.
Aches and pains
Weight gains and mental blips
every limit that never used to be
comes in Autumn.
Turn a corner
the ’60’s arrive
and Autumn plagues:
a marking of time.
Too much work never used to be
suddenly — or was it gradually?
limits placed on me.
A long time ago
I never stopped;
Now, I sigh — though not ready to quit
to drop.
Autumn has come
as relentless as I refuse to yield
completely
Knowing time goes on
I try — I hope
to go on:
two more and six
anything more
is a gift
Time —
winter comes
ending time
to all.
