our neighbors’ tree
always the first to bud,
always the first to turn
it’s not dazzling, not even a little
but when I look at it, little pops of red by mid-August, my heart skips a beat, I feel a little lighter, and I know how those “summer” people feel when they see the first robin of spring
happy fall, all
