Transitions

Dry, wind leaf trash gains,

Sunlight squeezed out by darkness,

Ground turns brown, bitter.

Warmth gone, cold in floods.

Powder deep, on top with skis?

White, cold, clear breath fogs.

Smooth, soft, blemish free,

Grey, wrinkled, leather lifeless.

Sun, moon alternate.

Blue green algae life

Sinks lower, slows to a stop.

Turns, freezes solid.
