just like that
the evening comes with a chill
street lights flicker early
wrap the blanket round
wasn't it yesterday
thought the heat never ended
prayed for rain
now the grey days begin
the last raspberries of summer
still burst on the tongue
flavour of warm days past
what's here was gone
what's gone will come
again
the scent of wood burning
as shadows lengthen
the wind bites
another year is dying
burying missed moments
golden happy hours
perhaps a heartbreak or two
close the door
turn off the lamp
pull the covers close
just like that
