moments of September

September has begun with ...
fog in earnest, thick and damp
no doubt the summer heat is fleeing

September has begun with ...
bodies that work differently
age has a way of registering its self

September has begun with ...
sober checks on the condition
of humanity's unwillingness to
be kind

September has begun with ...
clotheslines filled with bedding
needing flushing only a Canary
would recognize why

September has begun with ...
adjustments and revisions
once again, the journey
is not yet over

September has begun with ...
a farewell to a servant who
stepped from the rich
making a difference for all others

September has begun with ...
one more challenge:
step up, be heard
step back, be silent
step up be beaten
step back be beaten
