By Nora Glass

fall is the time when
we all are rotting inside
it’s okay to change

leaves butter yellow
are burning into the ground
an ashy trail of steps

from driveway to street
a tousled parade journeyed
over concrete sea

the tree is making
some cuts and letting things go
this economy…

fall is the time when
we‘re begging don’t let me go
do not yellow me
