Autumn (continued)

11.

Okay, I'm up, I'm up;
rising
not quite singing

but I'm up
and everything feels different
although I'm not sure why
exactly

but it's different
uncomfortable perhaps
oppressive maybe
and the bed I just left sings a siren's song

beckoning 
welcoming
sheltering

and for a moment I...

but instead I turn away
and when I open the door
just to see

the wind bites my cheek
the thinnest blanket of icy cobweb snow is sparkling
the rooster is sleeping in
and I know the season has made it's crossing over
has snapped

and there is only forward motion now

but I'm up, I'm up
to greet it.
