Autumn leaves clinging

yellowing and necrotic

final stubborn stand

Unsecured ladder

fall from the kitchen loft hatch

escaped with bruises

September breezes

initiate first leaf fall

Westonbirt Arboretum

‘Boof’ a softened thud

beside me; thirty foot fall,

a squirrel scuttles.

take heed; your golden years will

begin in your fall
