~After Karen Carpenter
Pitter, patter, splash
Wish I could push back
Take that all day nap
October sunflowers stay strong
with no sun,
but I’m ready to throw up my hands
admit the season’s won.
My stabbed backyard tree
bleeds red leaves.
No need to talk it out.
We all know what fall is really about.

Yes, indeed. The back yard one has this slit that’s all red as if it was knifed in a gang fight and is bleeding out on the lawn. It’s tragic but it’s like everybody’s just expecting it. I appreciate you reading and commenting, friend.
