autumn deepens
each night another cat
joins us on the bed

clearing fog
between each laboured breath
a drop of dew falls

autumn thoughts
weighing the sleep four thousand
dollars will buy

daylight saving
the long night even
longer

night chill
in the garden’s wet stillness
not even crickets

gloomy day
a solitary yellow crocus
blooms

maple leaves turning red
weighing up all the options
at the nursing home

Hi all,
Just a short post to let you know that this week’s summary/commentary post is up on my substack here. I have written about 12 of these for this year’s project.
