No reason to stay
outside all day except for
diminished returns
knowing that less light
will reach our eyelids straining
the coming season
trees lose their luster
perhaps never to return
not in the same way
as if we could know
where we go when the leaves fall
before their time comes
when they should be here
sheltering us from the light
we soak in all day
