the promise of fall
50
early morning low clouds
even though it's been warm lately
along the coast we have kept the marine layer
and a decent breeze in the afternoons
this morning as I drink my coffee
and blankly stare out into the fog
I am able to feel the fall
feel it in my bones
in an hour that feeling will be gone
we will be warm again
but right now
the coffee is warm
the air is cool and moist
and the promise of fall
is in the air
