your heart is an autumn wanderer

fireflies give way
to falling foliage
that are two/thirds primary in color
beads of perspiration
are exchanged
for brief silvery wisps of carbon dioxide
and blustery, biting winds
so put on grandpa's old sweater
and grandma's freshly knitted scarf
and play connect the dots
with the piles of leaves
that lace the front lawn
dive in.
leap out.
dive in.
leap out.
and paint yourself
two/thirds primary in color.
work up an appetite.
listen for the teapot's song.
and then dance and laugh your way back inside
for grilled cheese sandwiches
and tomato soup.
