Autumn is early

Autumn is early
 
It seems to be autumn
and I am here
pyjamas, pen in hand
 
a crossword below,
apples above
the air hinting at – smoke
 
In the near distance
a strimmer sings
Closer, the phone of a neighbour
 
To his gentle voice
my dog sleeps
heavy; deep in unknown dreams
 
as the leaves rustle soft
My brain calms –
the safety of an English breeze

It seems to be autumn
and I am here
pyjamas, pen in hand

    Alice has done her best not to get in an aeroplane for the past twelve years, so she doesn't really fly. However her mother is from Croatia which sort of makes her Croatian, therefore faintly a 'cro'.
