Southeastern Autumn 2022

Change of season
on the heels of change in climate:
Leaves fall mottled red, dirty yellow,
moldy-pumpkin orange,
desiccated, dropped in drought,
in crisis not in seasonal cycle.
Nature subverted.
Nature fatigued,
stressed, starved, strained.
How long lasted the advent
of the winter of the
dinosaurs?
