this morning’s noises echo
facts of summertime dwindling.
a crow’s call to advance
spur last night’s crickets,
still rubbing within the window well.
my heart swells with hope
which confuses me,
and the neighbor lady sweeps her deck.

Isn’t it funny how we orbit so close to other folks and yet travel in our own dimension?

I liked the mention of the window well and crickets. It has been more than forty years since I had a window well but I do remember those little stinkers falling in there and still chirping. A lovely seasonal poem, Audrey.

Butch, you are welcome over anytime. *Giggle* I have a story about crickets and hedge apples. My great-grandmother insisted they kept crickets out of windows and basements. My great-grandfather told my father…the only way those things keep crickets away is if you have good aim. I still giggle over his story. Very happy you enjoyed, my friend.

Fall is definitely in the air, ma’am! I love this time of year, after the heat and humidity break. And even though we all know COVID is going to change things for a while, I’m still hoping for magical holidays, ha!
