When a grimulous wind rustles leaves past your feet
with the scent of a fire you can’t see,
and the moon, cheddar-bellied, hangs golden and low
making shadows where they shouldn’t be ...It’s the crossroad of seasons,
not summer, not fall,
but something between-ish and strange,
when nothing is certain, except for one thing:
Everything’s going to change.Season of Change
