Now the wind is whistling

blowing down the withered

leaves

rustling under my feet

A month is dead, a month is

born

a cozy sweater around my body

and a cup of tea

the smell of spices, drifting

in the air

cinnamon, cloves and ginger

blended with love

by the fire place

the dusk with a bold svelte

subdued

under a virgin quarter moon

behold, oh newcomer cries the

chicks

treat us with kindness

for we are new to this world

of bedlam
