Heading towards the Fall

 

The early morning birds

That began practicing every known car alarm

between 3 and 6 am

are strangely silent.

The surf contests are come and gone

(how was the riot? Who won?)

and there is something about the quality of the light these days

mostly in the afternoons

that points to the Fall.

It's still hot

muggy even 

being in the midst of monsoon season

I think I heard the North Pacific

beginning to awaken

from it's summer time slumber.

Looking forward to the Fall and Winter after that

if only for a respite from the ants
