Autumn Arrives

scrambled
mind blown
caffeinated junkie

mommy mommy mommy

I reach for

eggs chocolate books
NYTimes
a nap

hurry hurry hurry

the spider is moving
jack o’ lantern glowing
leaves are falling
woodpeckers at the feeder

sleep  sleep sleep

bundled crumpled in
a saggy king
snoring out of synch

no no no

cries of pulling hair
skin caresses
abc’s to sleep
