a warm February
today is cooler than it has been
there is
a breeze,
it rattles my windows
the sun is shing
leaves are falling
there is a chill in the air
it is cold in the apartment,
though the windows are
closed
I have not yet
lit the furnace
It is quiet… there is the soft sound of air moving through a fan, and the quiet hum of its motor…turning.

Observation
The November sun is bright at 8:00 am
The crooked finger of bare trees…clawing
Shadows scratching at the window blinds
Daylight savings today, with a hint of winter
The scent of cold things, late-autumn leaves
Drying in the stiff-breeze
The sound of water boiling in the kettle
Calling me to coffee and the taste of chocolate
